Nuclear Energy Innovations

Due to recent events, we have been having lots of discussions about nuclear power plants recently. For some reason, we seem to like discussing energy sources or policy in general, so I thought people would be interested in a new design for nuclear reactors that has a lot of bold promises:

• It uses depleted uranium as fuel, which is a waste product of current reactors
• It uses cooling systems that don't require power to function
