Q: Should we build nuclear plants since it is impossible to build a
system that doesnt fail?
A: Yes.
Q: Why?
A.1. It is efficient and green.
A.2. there are designs for smaller power plants, that on failure, inherent to the design, will shut off the reactor. I.e. the default state of the system is off, similar to air brakes on a bus.

I.e. you can build a system that moves to a safe state on failure.
A weaker argument, also for (From ChrisH discussion):

Worse if chem plant blows up. We run those regularly.
