Next-generation nuclear reactors are heating up a debate over whether their fuel could be used to make bombs.
Uranium in the fuel could theoretically be used in nuclear weapons.
Some experts argue that the US hasn’t prepared enough to hedge against that worst-case scenario.
Nuclear reactors generate electricity without producing greenhouse gas emissions causing climate change.
A paper suggests setting a lower enrichment limit for uranium based on new research or ramping up security measures for HALEU to more closely match those for weapons-usable fuels.
Some of the fears surrounding nuclear energy have faded with the need to find energy sources that don't contribute to climate change and with promises of more advanced technologies.
