Do we have the technology to force monkeys only use safe designs?

Including proper mining techniques of uranium ore, uranium enrichment,
reactor design and operation, getting rid of radionuclides, dismantling
the reactor after operation, and getting rid of the contaminated
structural material? Including centralism, discouraging people from owning
their own energy production units? Including investment into a limited
resource, thorium and uranium? Etc.

If you think you absolutely need to use nuke power, I recommend fusion,
the solar kind.
