>no nuclear plant built starting today would have any of the issues
They still have the issue that they are inherently centralized technology that puts control of energy in the hands of big government and big corporations.
I'd rather see control at a local level, down to the individual property owner.
So from that perspective any nuclear power plants built starting today absolutely do have the same issues. Not the same safety issues, maybe, but let's be aware of all the issues, not just cherry pick.
- ChuckMcM 10y agoHave you seen the 10MW plants? Toshiba and others have an interesting series of small nuclear plants like this one: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toshiba_4S https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toshiba_4S At that scale you could have a community that used solar and nuclear and electric cars which would have zero carbon foot print. That combination along with some efficiency engineering would probably support a community of up to 10,000 people.
