“I also think that Trump may seriously look at new form of nuclear power called the molten salt reactor.”

Pebble Bed reactors are another possibility. They don't require cooling and cannot ever have a meltdown

Test Pebble reactors have had a lot of problems with pebbles getting stuck. No melt downs, but problematic.

More likely Trump will push low pressure modern uranium reactors. We need to restart our plutonium production and low pressure uranium reactors are much easier to manage because they don’t require a pressurized system to control coolant levels.
