I'm giving a keynote talk on the future of nuclear energy at the Pacific Basin Nuclear Conference in Oct. There is a strong rational case for nuclear, but it's faced a lot of opposition since the 1980s. I'm curious: what is the single biggest concern you personally have about building more nuclear reactors around the world to meet the fast-growing demand for carbon-free energy as poor nations develop?
