Meltdown in Japan: Does It Mean 'No Nukes' or 'New Nukes'?: EcoHearth.com Looks at Next-Generation Nuclear Reactors Able to Withstand Earthquakes and Tsunamis Without Meltdown
Science Writer Steven Kotler examines the evolution of nuclear technology and shows how a new generation of nuclear reactors is cleaner, safer and less vulnerable to both terrorist attack and natural disasters like earthquakes and tsunamis.

BROOKLYN, NY, March 17, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- To some, nuclear reactors are the face of the future; to others ticking time bombs of the past. With last week's Japanese earthquake and resulting tsunami knocking out the cooling systems of several Japanese nuclear power plants--leading to massive evacuations and multiple potential meltdowns--the interest in new, safer nukes is on the rise.

In a detailed article on EcoHearth.com, "Meltdown or Mother Lode: The New Truth About Nuclear Power," science writer Steven Kotler reviews the evolution of nuclear power and emerging nuclear technologies. He discusses next-generation nuclear reactors--now just coming on line--that create less or no waste and are less polluting, safer to operate and less vulnerable to both terrorist attack and natural disasters, like those that caused Japan's unfolding catastrophe.
