Yeah Thom
What he said.  

I'm no fanatic, I want to give you guys a chance at building some nuclear power reactors that really work and take care of the built up waste.

Just prove them first, before 100s of new reactors of the old line are built.  Leaking, waste producing, water using/drought intolerant, hugely expensive (8 bucks per watt?, who knows?), cost over run, time over run, under inspected, terror and theft vulnerable, hulking mass of concrete and steel that will need to be dismantled and disposed of with robots.

The dangerous remains to be guarded from earthquake and terror for 10,000 years.
