The fire hazard of steel, plastic and wood in tall buildings is grandfathered in. Hopefully our construction industry is replacing some of the steel, plastic and wood with ceramics = metal oxides which can be as strong as steel, will not burn and soften at higher temperatures than steel. Unfortunately the best ceramics are not yet mass produced, but likely can make safer containmement for nuclear fuel than diamond. Neil
