I read and research news on #nuclear issues everyday. I can't tell you how many articles are published weekly proclaiming that some researcher or tech startup has found a way to eliminate 90% of nuclear waste with some magic solution, or that a new bacteria will turn nuclear waste into gold.

The industry has so many PR professionals, and there are countless NukeBros boosting the bullshit as part of their crypto or AI fantasies.

Fuck that shit, and these Bozos:

"World leaders are not unaware of the nuclear industry’s long history of failing to deliver on its promises, or of its weakening vital signs. Yet many continue to act as if a 'nuclear renaissance' could be around the corner even though #nuclear energy’s share of global electricity generation has fallen by almost half from its high of roughly 17 percent in 1996."

For some hot takes on nuclear power, look no further than Jack Devanney's substack.
Devanney is the principal engineer and architect of the ThorCon molten salt reactor power plant, and he's not holding his breath waiting for US regulators to get their shit together.
