Operating generation two reactors makes no sense. There is a risk of a meltdown with them and it has happened multiple times which has had negative impact on the adoption of nuclear reactors. We need to shut them all down and replace them with generator 4 reactors. They are more efficient and produce less hazardous waste. Most importantly they are much safer which will help restore public opinion of nuclear power.
- jabl 6y agoAs long as we're producing electricity by burning fossil fuels, keeping existing nuclear power plants running is the lower risk option.
- neuronic 6y agoNot happening, nuclear is too expensive and will not be economically sustainable against renewables. They are simply cheaper.
- stjohnswarts 6y agoTechnology has a way of making things cheaper, it's not limited to renewables. You'll be shocked when you see what's available in a few years from Gen 4 and beyond reactors.
