Not so sure your analogy works here. Aren't containment buildings meant to protect the area where the reactors are? I think the closer analogy would be saying the US needed to tap the breaks on the Manhattan Project because nuclear weapons are dangerous even though Nazi Germany and Soviet Russia are going full steam ahead during WW2 or the cold war with their nuclear weapons programs. The world would probably be very different it we had chosen the 'safer' path.
