Yes. It will be human error of course, not technology with all it's theoretical perfection. Doesn't mean I want to be in the surrounding area.
I understand your skepticism and opinion but I must point out the infinitely more probable outcome is that the world experiences a near apocalyptic or history making war for resources. The use of nuclear and biological weapons and the murder or death of half the population of the world. Yes, problem solved for whoever survives.

Also I'd like to point out that fossil fuel power plant operations will be responsible for more deaths through air pollution than a whole outbreak of Fukushima incidents. How many were killed at Fukushima?
