When will you guys stop comparing 1950's technology to 2017? The whole progression of nuclear power has been held up for decades. It can obviously be much better now than in 1950.

We are still hung up in one way by the fact that new tech takes so long to certify, nobody can afford to even build any Gen4 reactor types to begin to push these designs forward.
Except China. Who will forge ahead with this tech while the rest of the world is tied in red tape. And get the jump on the rest of the world in owning the intellectual property. Giving them another 2:1 advantage in manufaturing with cheaper energy costs.
