Correction to what I say at 17 mins 29 seconds: It's 3 meters in diameter and 20 meters tall (not 3 meters in diameter and 20 feet tall). Sorry about that!

Is nuclear power good or bad? In this much-asked-for episode I will summarize the most up-to-date numbers on the status of nuclear power and break down it's pros and cons. We will also look at what the new technological developments have to offer: molten salt reactors, thorium reactors, and small modular reactors. I learned a low while working on this video and I hope you find this summary useful.
