Great article. Nuclear power should be back in the debate but we must accept that current reactor designs are not cutting it. They are way too slow to build. Instead regulations should be revamped to allow speedier development of small modular reactors based on molten salt or gas cooling. Molten Salt Reactors in particular can burn current nuclear waste which make them an attractive solution to many of our waste problems. They are also inherently safer. Our insistence to keep building large nuclear reactors is akin to NASA building an enormously expensive SLS rocket which cannot even be reused while SpaceX has demonstrated years ago that reusable rockets is the way to go. Ariane kept developing single use rockets while it was clear , reusable rockets was the future. In few years it will look really foolish that we continue to push old over-engineered monster reactors. The problem with the Nuclear industry is the same as the rocket industry. It is dominated by companies stuck in the past while those with new fresh visions are lacking resources and political support.
