Is it possible to completely skip nuclear tier in its entirety...

I am deathly scared of nuclear and I don't want to ruin my entire save due to 1 miss calculation causing mass radiation... Is it possible to skip nuclear power?

EDIT: thanks you guys for the help.. I really do not want to do Nuclear and thanks for telling me that I don't have to use nuclear for progression

EDIT 2: my plan is for now to not even touch nuclear or any other form of that until way later into the game at least.. if not it'll be deffo in my second save after I beat the normal game once.. (I might have some deco mods into it as well maybe, idk)
