Paraphrasing

As you paraphrase the following paragraph, present the “expected” general features of the nuclear reactors from Declan Butler’s “Nuclear power’s new dawn,” taken from Nature, 20 May, 2004 (Vol. 429, p. 238).

“These new reactors would all operate at high temperatures, improving their efficiency.  And they would include simplified safety features that do not rely on sophisticated backup systems or experienced operators — all are, in principle, ‘meltdown proof’ and can cool themselves down in the event of an accident with minimal, if any, human intervention. . . . Experts agree that reactors will need to be a lot cheaper to run. And to sway a nuclear-averse public, the next generation of reactors will need to produce much less radioactive waste at terrorist-proof facilities.”

Butler (2004), states that all new nuclear reactors are able to operate efficiently at high temperatures. The safety components can eliminate the need for highly developed backup systems or trained workers. It can lower its temperature in times of an accident, with little human interference. Reactors must be affordable to operate. The future reactors must be capable of producing lesser radioactive waste at terrorist-proof facilities, in order to influence the nuclear adverse public.
