I get the idea from dumbgrunt that an idiot politician may have spread some lies.

Occums razor and all :)

So the whole thing may be fake news. Nuclear engineers are both really, really intelligent people who have the power to make their decisions final without the risk of outside idiots. I tend to believe these engineers would not proceed if it weren’t perfect.

Yes, things happen.

Here is a famous case of foundation soil failure – the Transcona grain elevator.

NB: The state of the art has advanced considerably over the years.

"... Nuclear engineers are both really, really intelligent people who have the power to make their decisions final without the risk of outside idiots. I tend to believe these engineers would not proceed if it weren’t perfect......"

Having come from the engineering world myself (electrical; systems engineering) I think your assessment is correct; especially regarding nuclear engineers, who no doubt work very carefully alongside the other disciplines to ensure near perfect outcomes...
