In my opinion this article is completely wrong. There were problems with many early reactors. Now there is much exciting design work on fission reactors especially using Thorium and fusion options are showing promise. If you look at energy source development over the long term then nuclear power is looking exceptionally strong now. If anything keeping older iterations operating beyond their lifetimes would be a sign of stagnation.
- pm90 9y agoHow is this article "completely wrong"? It is basically reporting the actual fact that new nuclear reactors are being abandoned because they are too expensive.
- m0llusk 9y agoHow is a nuclear comeback more closely related to old reactor shutdowns than new reactor designs? For a real example of energy generation being abandoned look at dams which have no new generation of potential replacements causing discussion.
