How nuclear power is changing

Nuclear incidents like Fukushima and Chernobyl have made many fear nuclear power. But, for the most part, the technology has proved to be an emission-free, reliable way to produce large amounts of electricity on a small footprint. As a result, sentiments about the technology are beginning to change. The U.S. government and private companies including X Energy, NuScale and, Bill Gates-backed, TerraPower are pouring money into developing, what they say will be smaller, safer reactors.
