restart the Integral Fast Reactor nuclear power technology program.

Created by G.K. on September 29, 2011

Without delay, the U.S. should build a commercial-scale demonstration reactor and adjacent recycling center. General Electric's PRISM reactor, developed by a consortium of major American companies in partnership with the Argonne National Laboratory, is ready to build now. It is designed to consume existing nuclear waste as fuel, be passively safe and proliferation-resistant. It can provide clean, emissions-free power to counter climate change, and will create jobs as we manufacture and export a superior technology. Abundant homegrown nuclear power will also enhance our nation's energy security. Our country dedicated some of its finest scientific and engineering talent to this program, with spectacular success. Let's finish the job we started. It will benefit our nation, and the world.
