I don’t really know anything about this topic, but I heard there are new designs of nuclear fission plants that are much safer and “unmeltdownable”? Called Molten Salt Reactors https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molten_salt_reactor
I’m pretty sure the only reactors that have ever failed have been designed in the 60s and early 70s (or earlier)
I’m trying to confirm it but I’m pretty sure no reactor designed later than that has had a meltdown and there have been significantly safer designs released in the last couple of decades.
I can look it up later if you’re curious but I recall reading some interesting articles about it.

Yes, but afaik corrosion is still a big issue in these designs so they are not ready for commercial use.

You’re confusing “Fusion” with “Fission”. Fission is what all nuclear power plants to date are based on.
