The Future of Nuclear Power: Getting Rid of Nuclear Waste.

TEDxNewEngland | 11/01/11  h/t Al Fin Energy

For the first time in decades, there are an abundance of new designs for nuclear power reactors -- ones that are safer, more powerful, more portable, and even ones that produce hardly any nuclear waste. From the Department of Nuclear Science and Engineering at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Professor Dr. Richard Lester and Graduate Students Mark Massie and Leslie Dewan will talk about the evolution of nuclear power in the United States, and directions that the industry might take in the future. They will also describe new technology that solves two of the biggest problems with nuclear power -- Safety and Waste Disposal.
Note:

This proposed technology will be able to burn most of the nuclear waste in existence now and convert it into electricity which by itself could power the world for decades.

Yes, there are solutions, but are they wanted?
