("Now, 60 years after the United States adapted Navy submarine-propulsion technology to build the first civilian nuclear plants, hundreds of scientists and engineers are looking at new kinds of reactors, intended to be safer, cheaper and deployable worldwide. From reactor designs that use sodium instead of water, to those that substantially reduce the waste that lasts thousands of years, the new reactors would represent a significant break from the past. 'There’s a whole class of reactors that are not evolutionary concepts [rather, they're revolutionary]'")

My comment: There is no need to read the rest, because the concepts are experimental.
