"Fukushimamarked the death ofconventionallight-waterreactors," says KirkSorensen, founderof Flibe Energy, a highly regardednuclear technologystartup based in Huntsville, Alabama.
In 1994, North Korea agreed to stop making plutonium, in return for which America and its allies would supply the country with fuel oil and build two Western-designed light-water nuclear reactors (since it is a bit harder to produce weapons-grade materials from such reactors than from the ones North Korea had been building).
The United Arab Emirates is also building nuclear power reactors, four Korean lightwater rectors, in full transparency and with full support from the international community.
