I just read an article in the latest Popular Science that the DOE is looking at designs for the next generation of nuclear reactors.
The front runner is called a high pressure reactor and has the advantage that it is immune to the type of runaway reaction and melt down that happened at 3 Mile Island.
I see nuclear as the immediate solution to our country's dependence on oil and further research into alternative energy as the long term solution.
