Reply to comment by rdepp in The 3 Mile Island nuclear power station near Harrisburg, PA, suffers a partial meltdown in 1979, due to coolant leakage. Though there were no casualties, the accident gave way to more stringent safety standards, and also a slowdown in construction of reactors. by LoneWolfInCyberia

I'm not a fan of those either and don't drive anything with one. My co-workers are firefighters and they've told me what fighting a fire with entrapment on involving that kind of battery is like. No thanks.

Reality is we gotta do the heavy lift of figuring out how to manage the nuclear waste once and for all.

I"m fine with nuclear power but we've kicked the can down the road too long on HOW to dispose of the waste it generates.

From a technological standpoint, we will effectively eliminate all accidents once we let AI drive and ban humans from driving. Properly trained AI will handle virtually any scenario better then a human. We aren't quite there yet, but if we actually put resources into it, it could happen practically overnight.
