I don't think we're on the same page here. This is new technology where whole device is smaller then human being. Reactor fuel is very safe and mildly radioactive. Uranium core is only 6 inches in diameter so I don't see that it has such security problems. If in time they do "evolve" to yield megawatts (instead of kilowatts) of power you put few of those somewhere underground and I think you can say it's pretty safe.
Or put one of those on a freighter ship (you know one of those that tugs containers from China to the rest of the world) I mean that would be great solution because those ships use such horrible heavy fuel oil that just one of those ships pollutes as 50 million cars and 15 of those ships pollutes like all the cars in the world, yet there are 60 000 to 90 000 of those ships in the oceans all the time. I mean talk about safety. When those ships come to the coast whole communities there get sick.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
