I'm pretty much a "tree hugger" and I see the need to lean on Nuclear power as our freeing energy source.
But Nuclear power needs to be fixed and run by the federal government. No more new private reactors.
We need to do nuclear power like the French do. They keep costs down by having one schematic for their nuke plants at a time and build that over and over. This also allows technicians to be transferred between all different plants.
Also France has a special school where they train all their nuke workers. And it's a long program.
France also uses the secondary nuclear waste and restructures it to be used again as fuel in their secondary reactor system. This cuts down hugely on the amount of nuclear waste that France creates every year. France is energy independent by creating over 75% of its energy through Nuclear plants.
France finally has a high tech waste storage system.
We need all of this to get back on the Nuke plant band wagon.
I am not worried about nuclear waste if we use the proper storage systems because I know we are only one or two generations off from finding new ways to use up the radioactive materials.
So I say start up the machine, but do it regulated hard, like the military. It has to be generic, efficient, and we need to have everything planned out from beginning to end.
And fund research to find a final solution for the radioactive waste.
