Safer fuel designs and a new generation of power plants are needed for the future. time to work on it?

This is the one that Hillary owns.

Wonderful, learn from the debacle in SC where our utility mismanaged BILLION$ for a failed nuclear plant leaving rate payers what will take 20+ years to payoff.

Liquid sodium metal reactors are the only safe design. Liquid sodium metal has a 2000 plus degree boiling temp while water boils at 200 and seperates into a hydrogen at 2000. But its not about safety, its more about making money. To bad if you live near one lmao.

Go nukes!

This reminds me of Indian Point here in NY: 1. 2. At some point these older reactors need to be taken offline. It appears that they keep renewing operating licenses even though these older plants cause major safety issues. -ONE.

ITER will be the next generation of nuclear power plants.

That first sentence wasn’t intended to scare people?

Why can't we find solar? It will never leak and possibly kill you.
