    What ? One poster in comments said they are getting power from reactor that is same model as Chernobyl one with added improvments and nothing bad happened, I don’t get what you mean by “when they’re in production” ?

    Are you arguing that coal is safer than nuclear ?

      I was speaking about the next generation of reactors that are on the drawing board today.

      I’m all for salt based small reactors that are a lot safer to deal with.
