Toshiba 4S Nuclear Reactor

Is nuclear fission going to make a comeback and plug the gap in our energy needs? Will nuclear fusion ever become energetically viable?

Liquid sodium in a hole in the ground. Hard to think of a better way to make a big bang in the event of a tsunami filling the hole with water just after the containment had been cracked by an earthquake. The shape of the hole would act like a canon barrel to eject the nuclear fuel into the stratosphere.

I don't think the Japanese are going to be buying many of these.
