Back in the 60s airliners crashed far more frequently per passenger mile.
So clearly airliners would never go anywhere.
The problem is the financing, the plants are so expensive they try to wring infinitely money out of old designs, which makes new designs harder to build because the old designs need so much regulation to be safe.
We need to start rolling out 4th Gen reactors like an assembly line, reactors designed to fail safe with almost no risk of release events.
Compare the shitty PWR, or God forbid the RBMK design to a modern PBR, which, if power goes out just fizzles as the water moderator boils off.
The left is so absolutely religious about nuclear power (because of weapons BTW, a fair reason, but it’s being exploited), while the right hate it becausw they own all the fossil fuels.
There are a lot of airliners flying around.
