For nuclear power to be feasible, we need different kinds of designs than the historically common ones. 1. Passive safety features are a must, period -- especially in a world full of hackers and terrorists (or at least terrorist wannabes). Obviously, they don't protect against all human error, accidental or deliberate as the case may be. But they sure could lower the risks. 2. We also need truly standardized manufacturing. It seems that the buzzword there is "SMR" -- Small Modular Reactor. This is for multiple reasons. Cost and general safety are the most obvious. Further, site-specific safety analyses would actually have a chance of being correct.
