If this is supposed to be a safe haven for the anti-nucs, then how can discussion of " ... , whether or not nuclear energy can ever be made truly safe ..." be allowed? Wouldn't arguing that nucs could be made safe be a pro-nuc sentiment?

Whether they can be made safe or not is a question of physics and fact, regardless of if someone is pro or anti.
For instance, even a fervent "pro-lifer" might acknowledge abortions are generally safe but still be anti.
