Carbon reduction is a global challenge, hence reengineered power generation is too. Normalizing nuclear means deploying plants in potentially under-developed or faltering societies around the world. While “London-sized” mistakes are increasingly less likely with newer technologies, the potential dirty-bomb weaponization of the fuel remains troubling.
The unforeseen consequences of nuke plants in places like Syria, Somalia, Lebanon, et al seem pretty bad.
