The base load argument doesn’t hold water any more - not when there are places which are progressing towards being totally free of base load. Eg. South Australia is already nearly all renewable power with in-fill from batteries and transient gas power when needed. They’re still currently getting some base load from other states but it’s small and gradually being phased out.

They’re not economically feasible anywhere right now. Unfortunately nuclear power is very expensive compared to all the alternatives. Unless there’s some radical breakthrough I can’t see much nuclear being built in the future. No company would pay such a huge up-front cost to produce uneconomic electricity.

So the strict answer is - no, they’re not feasible everywhere. And also not feasible pretty much anywhere.

Wow. That’s horrible. The US health system sounds like a dystopian nightmare.

The advancement may be interesting but the headline is a bit stupid. Plenty of architectures have RAM on the same chip as processing - most notably the Apple M1.
