Having worked in the nuclear industry and watched the show, it's clear mob NIMBYs, politics and govt mismanagement have made us less safe than a central, well-managed nuclear waste facility (either for-profit, PPP or govt not run by current DOE) in the middle of Nevada. Liquid radioactive waste concentration is also a necessary and complicated process that needs to happen to make it viable.
Mass-manufactured energy solutions like Taylor Wilson proposed in a TED talk are really great idea as reactors are too often complicated and labor-intensive. They need to be less than several gigabucks, insurable and designed for simple, fail-safe and regenerable scram operation in an almost un-attended, remote-factory-monitored configuration.
