No. We've already been developing nuclear energy for 72 years. We know everything there is to know about it, and more development is unlikely to yield anything new, which is why nuclear development effectively stopped well over a decade ago. What is maddening is that had we spent a tenth of that investment towards solar development, we wouldn't even be talking about nuclear anymore, and the only reason we didn't was because some military wonk vastly overestimated the need for fuel for bombs. But the bottom line is until someone somehow makes nuclear energy profitable, there's no point in talking about it.
