Bill Gates working with China to build safer nuclear reactors

Bill Gates working with China to build safer nuclear reactors

It looks like Bill Gates, the co-founder of Microsoft, has got a project up his sleeves. The billionaire recently confirmed that he is currently in discussions with China to jointly develop a new and safer kind of nuclear reactor. Bill Gates had previously funded TerraPower, a company that is developing a Generation IV nuclear reactor that can run on depleted uranium. Because the reactors run on depleted uranium, they produce significantly smaller amounts of nuclear waste than conventional reactors.
This would make the reactors much safer than what is currently being used now.
