    I read that know how to build plants that have no waste and are perfectly safe. It involves using liquid helium to cool the rods as opposed to water.

    It's twice as expensive to build and only allows half the energy output. So no one builds them.

    They should, but...

    Ah well. Business world.

    Thanks for pointing out, though.
