However, evidence showed me that the energy is too powerful and dangerous, too dirty and too expensive while we remain dependent from others for our energy to justify its further use on our planet. So, I continue to think we should try to find better ways to generate energy, just as I wrote a year ago  although this reactors can help to bridge the time towards clean energy. Here my reasoning against continuing the use of radioact...
