It's about time people start getting over the stigma of the word "nuclear" in the US. Nuclear engineers in this country have been finding themselves out of related job work for far too long. This is probably the best and cleanest form of energy we can produce until we can master fusion technologies. Sadly, fusion technology is a good 20+ years away as we can't find enough helium-3 on Earth. There's plenty other places though... (awaits the space race to go to the moon.. US vs European Alliance vs Russia vs China.. sounds stupid, but in 20 years I'll have said "I told you so").
