If there only was a power source with little land use and very limited amounts of waste. One that only requires a few tons of refined fuel per year. One with few failure modes and waste disposal researched for decades. The one source with a ton of regulators with very little to do.
Barge or platform based nuclear power is obvious for Japan.
I don’t really get the ignorance. There are so many promising alternatives to pressurized water reactors using 50’s, 60’s, and 70’s technology (as long as they don’t use MS Windows in critical areas) that it is insane we are even having these issues.
We should be full bore exploring Thorium Reactors, Pebble Bed reactors, modular and scalable reactors using 21st century technology.
It just baffles me.
