If they would develope a standard 500MW and 1000MW unit. They could perfect the engineering of them and bring the cost down on construction. If the US would refuel the rods like most of the world, 80% of the waiste wouldn't exist.

Clean af.
Safe af (in America).
Expensive.

An absolute must if we dont want to live as peasants with rolling blackouts thanks to rules instituted by climate czars.
But its not happening. It takes 10+ years to build a nuclear power plant, and the powers that be arent exactly in favor of them. So enjoy your future with rolling blackouts and insanely expensive electricity.
My advice - live somewhere that you won't need or want AC constantly.

NO.
Too susceptible to sabotage, safety oversight malfeasance, and maintenance incompetence.
Power sources ought to be revealed and released that have been invented / discovered and bought-off in the past; ITMT, cleaner gas / oil / coal are doing the job nicely -- until that happens.
Moreover... Many years ago good friend of mine who worked at a Nuke Power Plant was actually exposed to high radiation and died a quick death.

Microreactors come as assembled units. They can also be mobile. You can power a building, a block, a town..

My intent isn’t to be overly blunt or rude, but Unless your friend worked at Chernobyl, you’re either lying, or are misinformed as to his cause of death.

I just imagine we kept building nuclear plants in the 80s and 90s, and I smile thinking about that world.

I also don’t agree with you concerns for sabotage, lack of oversight, or incompetence either, for what it’s worth.

This is another way, but I don't trust the public enough for some moron to get his hands on one and some nice real estate isn't inhabitable

RNG is the future, IMO

Dude I've worked in the industry for decades...its very small and nothing is a secret. Workers, even low level craft workers, are well versed on accidents in nuclear power generation. Where and when this occur?
You say many years ago, unless you mean 6 decades ago, this is fricking bullshite. High chance youre a muthafricking liar.

I didn’t wanna be quite as assholish, but yeah I agree. Unless his friend worked at Chernobyl it’s a lie. Or he was lied to, as to the real cause of death.

Kudos to you, but frick him. He's either mistaken or purposely misleading...both are reckless.
I cant stand the amount of lies that people push regarding nuclear power. It's been engrained in people as the boogeyman, glamorized as such in Hollywood, and the average person can't fathom the amount of safeguards and regulatory protection in place to guard against a critical core failure
The general public will get more radiation exposure from an X-ray, or in some cases their countertops, then they ever will from a bwr or pwr nuclear reactor.

Most dangerous job going for awhile, even more than crab boat deckhand.
but muh clean energy!!!

Yes we need them……but not in earthquake zones.
I currently live about 12-13 miles from one. They tested the emergency sirens at noon today.

Seriously, there is so much individual monitoring and the employees are very, very aware of their exposure profile. They don’t even want unnecessary chest x-rays, etc. They get more radiation from smoking than they do on the job. Fact check that one.

I'll be blunt and rude. He's misinformed AND lying.

The BWR (General Electric) design always made more sense to me. Eliminates a big point of failure.
