It is a treat to hear such an informed person speak on nuclear power – he was a regulator! In the highest position of the NRC in the United States and he says 1) nuclear power is declining in the world 2) SMNRs are not new – just recycled old technology, 3) accident-free nuclear power is not possible, 4) waste needs to be monitored – we have no technology that can keep it safe for the length of time required to keep humanity safe and 5) we have to stop making nuclear waste.
