Before you decide nuclear power has any place in the future of producing electricity, consider two facts: 1. Worldwide, not a single nuclear plant was built with private funds. All were underwritten with public funds. 2. US law protects nuclear plants from liability. The risk of any harm they pose is borne by the government, not the utility. Nuclear power is and always was uneconomical. It exists out of a combination of mid-century faith in progress, and to have a nuclear industry to provide infrastructure and technical expertise (or maybe camouflage) for nuclear weapons. Behold the military-industrial complex. Like "clean coal" there are always supposedly designs on the drawing board. I say, assume full liability, and raise funds on the private market. While I'm waiting, I'll bet in wind and solar.
