Some of the new nuclear science research programs, including the one at MIT, are studying new reactor designs and fuel cycles that scientists (and policy - makers) hope will make nuclear plants safer and cheaper to operate, and produce waste materials with smaller volume, shorter half - lives, and less appeal to terrorists and other would - be nuclear powers.

But those two Texas reactors, as well as several other high - profile nuclear power projects, had been on the ropes long before Fukushima.

A group of nuclear power experts and former regulators from 11 nations, responding to Japan's nuclear disaster, is calling for «stress tests» on the world's reactors to determine their ability to withstand extreme earthquakes, flooding or other natural disasters that strike singly or in combination.

This month, Finland's Olkiluoto 3 nuclear reactor was supposed to begin generating power, a tangible sign of the revival of the nuclear industry outside of Asia after nearly 30 years of no new construction because of accidents, cost - overruns and other issues.

However, the push to extend lifelines to nuclear power has collided with the goals of other environmental activists who have spent decades railing against reactors as expensive and unsafe, creating cracks in the coalition that helped bring nations to an international agreement to fight climate change.

The U.K. is considering a plan to build two of General Electric's PRISM fast reactors, the latest in a series of fast - reactor designs that for several decades have attempted with mixed success to handle plutonium and other radioactive waste from nuclear power.

Due east along Guangdong's coastline, one of the region's most sophisticated technological projects, the Daya Bay Nuclear Power Complex, is also the stage for a cutting - edge experiment in high - energy physics: measuring the proportion of electron antineutrinos from the nuclear reactors that morph into other types, or generations, of these leptons as they speed throughNuclear Power Complex, is also the stage for a cutting - edge experiment in high - energy physics: measuring the proportion of electron antineutrinos from the nuclear reactors that morph into other types, or generations, of these leptons as they speed throughnuclear reactors that morph into other types, or generations, of these leptons as they speed through space.

«Unlike today's nuclear reactor, the IFR [integral fast reactor] can generate unlimited amounts of inexpensive clean power for hundreds of thousands of years... It provides an excellent solution for what to do with our nuclear waste because it can use our existing nuclear waste for fuel and it is significantly more proliferation - resistant than other methods of dealing with nuclear waste... The IFR is also inherently safe.

In recent days agency officials have noted that other factors besides economic recovery are likely to amplify the challenge of reining in emissions, among them a retreat on nuclear power in the wake of the ongoing crisis at Japan's damaged Fukushima Daiichi reactor complex.

Others say that any state or federal requirements for non-polluting power should include nuclear reactors, which also produce no greenhouse gases when generating electricity.

It allowed those hefty allowances to be sold or transferred to other power plants for a profit, however, ameliorating protests from nuclear generators — particularly newly born E.ON, which amassed ownership of 12 of the 19 reactors after the merger of Germany's biggest utilities, Veba and Viag.

At least 11 of the EU's 27 members have no nuclear power at all, while five others, including Italy, have pledged to phase out nuclear reactors altogether.

And nuclear power is just as sustainable as any other power source — even if we only use conventional nuclear fast reactor designs, there is enough uranium in the oceans and on land (recoverable at prices that allow the fuel costs of fast reactors to remain the same as today — which is trivial) to last for 5 billlion years, the expected time remaining fo our sun.

Liquid salt reactors or some other technology make nuclear power dirt cheap — pretty likely by 2050.
