No it's not.
It's a rising star with climate change deniers who wave it around as a "viable" "new" energy source that competes with the, in their opinion unviable solar and wind energy alternative which are already running and generating power at a fraction of the cost associated with building nuclear power plants.
How many more Chernobyl, Three Mile Island, Sellafied and Fukushima will it take for people to get it through their thick skulls that running a nuclear plant on Earth is not reasonable?
Sellafield happened in 1957 and they're still cleaning up the site and aren't expecting to finish this century, and that's if they don't run out of money.
Chernobyl is in the middle of the war between Russia and Ukraine and continues to be threatened by idiots with small dicks and big guns.
Nuclear power is not a viable option.
