    Reactor designs like the gas-cooled (using helium) pebble-bed reactors are very safe and should be cheap to operate too.

    Terrorist attacks cant do that much against them as you will never have a "China syndrome" nor will it have any radioactive leaks from cooling leaks. The pebbles are incased in silicium carbide so can take a lot of punishment.
