Propaganda from anti-nuclear people in the energy industry keeps hurting future plans of new plants. Nuclear has come so far since its infancy, its far more safe then most other forms of energy generation. It would be nice if we could pump a little more money into more testing and advancement of the technology.
As it is now current Gen3+ designs like SSTAR and the old af IFR produce a tiny fraction of waste compared to designs most people see.
If more research was put into Gen4/5 designs it might even get knocked down to a minuscule amount, for fission reactors anyway.
Fusion wise it seems like the community is getting pretty lucky with some advancements.1989 BMW 325is | 2019 Ford Ranger FX4willschnitz
