Current Generation II nuclear power plant reactors have far exceeded their designed lifespan of 30-40 years but these have been extended despite improved technologies and known issues with current nuclear power. Liquid Fluoride Thorium Reactors (aka Molten-Salt Reactors) is a known technology with a higher energy yield, cheap fuel source, safer, and has more reliable feedback mechanisms to prevent meltdowns. Thorium also produces much less waste and is less radioactive for a shorter period. Thorium is also cheap and much more available as a fuel source which can be gathered domestically and easily. Other countries are also starting to switch over to use thorium.
