Sorry, Dan. Despite production of bitter-tasting compounds, chemicals that interfere with insect growth, and toxic chemicals, bracken fern hosts a relatively large number and variety of herbivorous insects. http://www.rook.org/earl/bwca/nature/ferns/pteridiumaqui.html
Looks like there are no plants that don't get eaten.

Plenty of plants are poisonous or have thorns or something, but that doesn't mean that they never get nibbled on (and some get eaten on a regular basis.)
I can't think of any that never get eaten at all. Wouldn't an animal have to at least taste a plant to decide whether to eat it or not? As far as I can tell, the only plants that are refused on sight usually come in little jars and are offered to baby mouths clamped shut against them. Usually peas or green beans, stuff like that.
Though when they get older, babies often try these foods.

yes! a Nuclear plant!
in reality...NO, because sooner or later an unfortunate herbivore will accidently eat a plant it shouldn't have.
