“These new reactors would all operate at high temperatures, improving their efficiency. And they would include simplified safety features that do not rely on sophisticated backup systems or experienced operators — all are, in principle, ‘meltdown proof’ and can cool themselves down in the event of an accident with minimal, if any, human intervention. . . . Experts agree that reactors will need to be a lot cheaper to run. And to sway a nuclear-averse public, the next generation of reactors will need to produce much less radioactive waste at terrorist-proof facilities.”
D. Butler (2004), states that to improve new nuclear
reactors’ efficiency, withstand to high temperatures is needed. Simplified
safety features, that reduce reliance on system and human resources, are
included so reactors can cool themselves down during emergency to minimize any human intervention, whilst running a lower cost.
To ameliorate public resistance to nuclear reactors, the amount of radioactive
waste should be lessened in future.
Thanks for the effort, Foo Eng. Here are some minor edits:
