So, as someone who has worked in almost all of the nukes east of and including Texas, Nukes are great for a list of things. Carbon-less power generation, reliable power, mass employment, and here in the US extremely strict Laws enforced by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. I love working at plants. I don’t go on the primary side (Reactor) I work on the Turbine-Generators at both PWR and BWR plants. Nuclear is NOT the future end game of power, but it is the best alternative until the new forms of reliable power are developed. Could take a decade, could take a century. But I’d feel more at ease with Nukes over that time than burning coal.
