The Golden Age of nuclear energy in the United States has passed, and the accidents, if not disasters, at Three Mile Island, Chernobyl, and Fukushima have damaged nuclear power’s rise in some parts of the world. And yet today, as Third Way’s Josh Freed illuminates in the latest Brookings Essay, a flood of young engineers are exploring safer and cleaner nuclear energy technologies as the best option for powering the world and addressing the looming threat of climate change. Yet as Freed demonstrates, advanced nuclear energy is too big, complex, and expensive to take off without significant political backing and changes in how the government supports innovation. If the U.S. doesn’t invest in advanced nuclear, he argues, it’s inevitable that another country will lead the way in this game-changing field. THE BROOKINGS ESSAY In the spirit of its commitment to high-quality, independent research, the Brookings Institution has commissioned works on major topics of public policy by distinguished authors, including Brookings scholars. The Brookings Essay is a multi-platform product aimed to engage readers in open dialogue and debate. The views expressed, however, are solely those of the author. Available in ebook only.

Back to the Future Advanced Nuclear Energy and the Battle Against Climate Change eBook Josh Freed Reviews

This article succinctly lays out the problems and the solutions for how to advance nuclear in the US. It's critically important.
Superb article that shows how advanced nuclear energy systems, included the thorium LFTR were underway in the 1960s and 1970s but then de-funded.
So good I read it twice. I think it's one of the best reports by this think tank.

Interestingly, in the "SuperFuel" book by Richard Martin there is a similar story about Chinese gov't officicals being allowed into Oak Ridge, on an official and educational exchange, and making copies of archival material from 1960s era projects. The Chinese now appear to be racing towards the IFR and LFTR projects, ones which the US and other Western countries previously developed.
