I mean if you drove the titanic through an iceberg and it was fine, I'd say you'd have a iceberg-proof ship

And you would be wrong, because the Titanic could've plowed directly into the iceberg and it wouldn't have sunk. They weren't calling it unsinkable for no reason. The circumstances that led to the Titanic sinking were very difficult to foresee, just like the circumstances which might potentially cause a meltdown in a "meltdown-proof" reactor.

I think the tech itself is great I just think this language is in poor taste
