Carole and I stared at our ginormous atomic burger from the counter stools at Pickle’s Place in Arco, Idaho, population 879. She wondered how we were going to eat it. I was more concerned if it was ...

First, it's based on a fast fission plant (Experimental Breeder Reactor-II) that the U.S. government operated from 1964 to 1994, so the technology is proven.

Fast reactors are also more amenable to recycled fuel and produce less long-lived nuclear waste. The EBR-II achieved a capacity factor of around 80% during its final decade of operation.
