- cocoablazing 12y agoI'm a nuclear safety analyst. I need more than a powerpoint to convince me that an untested technology is safer than a technology that has seen billions of dollars of investment in enhanced technology, engineering, modeling, etc; along with decades of lessons learned. I'm not saying it couldn't be, but I think there are better ways to spend money on nuclear energy technologies right now, in terms of carbon offset and prevention of radioactivity release.
