Are there options for better, cleaner, safer nuclear power?
Description
People are only safe when they feel safe, and the public ultimately gives the go-ahead to build and utilize energy infrastructure. This 'social licence' is typically judged not upon the latest technical evaluation or the latest product description, but upon a lifetime of experiences, biases, memes, and emotions. Given this reality, is there a future for nuclear power? (author)
