Traveling-wave reactor

[Marlin]

Bill Gates is entering the Nuclear arena in strong favor of it.

"He's now betting that he can reshape the energy industry with a project akin to shipping Windows once and having it work, bug-free, for 50 years."

"A cheaper reactor design that can burn waste and doesn't run into fuel limitations would be a big thing," Mr. Gates says. He adds that in general "capitalism underinvests in innovation," particularly in areas with "long time horizons and where government regulations are unclear."
