The Forum of Young Global Leaders has about a thousand members, so isolating those few is kind of cherry-picking.
I found this young nuclear engineer interesting:
Click the pic. She came up with a new, safer, scalable form of nuclear power based on molten salt rather than water as a coolant. Inherently safe, and actually gobbles up nuclear waste.
Her smile reminds me of Matthew Broderick as Ferriss Bueller.

She might have refined the idea some, but it’s been on the table since the 50’s. It doesn’t produce plutonium so it wasn’t adopted. The molten salt is the reaction carrier, any failures in containment and it cools and solidifies.

Egads with that Ferris Bueller line.
"I hope your reactor makes big bucks,
'cause I'm the girl who likes neutron flux."
...or something.

Whoa, wait a minute.
Isn’t salt used for making ice cream?
What if we can have safe nuclear power AND ice cream?
