Not so true. Even if the desert seems to be useless, there is life, and
there is something under it. For the big african desert, the Sahara,
it is known that there is a lot of ground water below it (often more than
100 meters deep, sometimes also much nearer to the surface. A possible
contamination of this water could have effects not only to the inhabitants of
the desert, but also to regions far away yet connected to those water storage.
Maybe the Australian desert is not connected to any other eco system, so
we can take that?

Come on, this must be a joke!
First of all, computers are programmed by humans, and so they will contain
errors. Even if more than double checked, something always can slip through.
Sencond, also electronic components can fail and cause a dangerous situation.
Even though circuits will be set up fail safe, they still can fail; the
possibility is diminutive, but not zero..
Also there are still quite a number of the Chernobyl type of reactor running
in Russia and other states of east Europe. Those states cannot do without
these reactors to maintain their electricity supply. So the danger remains,
because this reactor type is not so well protected.
