Great idea of you to do sort of a Q&A!
I do really think that nuclear energy is demonized in the last years while, when incorporated correctly, could greatly reduce the footprint of energy on the climate.
I recently also came across the concept of Small Modular Reactors (SMR's). With a modular design, power plants require significantly less construction costs, can be manufactured more efficiently and are scalable to as much energy is needed. And due to their smaller size and design they have less complex systems and are less vulnerable to failures. I see you already mentioned those briefly in the question about the fault lines, but I think that these might have the potential to change the public opinion of nuclear plants being large ticking time bombs to small and efficient power sources.
