Yes there are newer designs that are suppose to be passively safe. But of course the money and government approval needed to build them, especially an as of yet untested design, are all locked behind political doors and hurdles.
- scoobydooxp 3y agoThe US currently has one AP1000 I believe and one under construction (see Vogtle 3&4). Other countries are building them. China for example has AP1000's and CAP1000's/CAP1400's (their modified version of the AP1000) in use and being built. The AP1000 design is a generation III+ reactor which is safer than 99% of the existing plants in the U.S.
