New nuclear reactor designs promise safe, clean electricity
While reading the article, I repeatedly thought &quot;wow this reads like a big ad for nuclear power&quot;.<p>Almost all passages of the very long text pointed out how great it is. It gives only a hand-wavey comment to the problem of what do we do with the waste that will remain toxic for thousands of years to come. Its not a technical but a political problem. Uhm, okay. And the other problem that uranium is much scarcer than previously thought is not even mentioned.<p>Atomic energy is way cleaner when it comes to immediate CO2 generation - true. But the long term problem of waste is not solved at all.
