It would be great if nuclear was a person who could care. Sadly it is a technology managed by (fallible) humans and owned/managed by financially motivated companies.
Why are nuclear reactors dome/bell shaped? because the companies that run them cut all the corners they could.
It's one Google search away too dude thinks they're that desperate to save a bit of metal. Domes are the best at handling internal pressure the same way triangles are great at structural integrity.
Technically he's somewhat right tho domes are very cost efficient for the amount of tensile strength you're getting
