Bill Gates' Nuclear Strategy

Bill Gates and Small Nuclear Reactors

Bill Gates wants to put nuclear power in the hands of emerging nations via nuclear energy reactors fueled by the relatively harmless uranium-238.

Essentially what the miniature nuclear reactors would do, once they were boosted by enriched uranium, would be to run anywhere from 50 50 100 years without the need to refuel. The reactor would offer several hundred megawatts to the users.

That's according to TerraPower, a firm backed by Bill Gates.
