Oh thank goodness, I thought I wasn't going to see an article about a battery technology breakthrough this week. /s

Only joking. I actually am really excited about battery technology and can't wait to see these.

The thing that keeps nuclear energy dangerous is fear of nuclear disaster which prevents new safe reactors from being built and instead we have to rely on aging nuclear reactors.

I don't disagree with the facts in your first two paragraphs or that existing nuclear reactors are incredibly dangerous. For those that don't know, much safer reactor technology exists. The nuclear fuel is self-regulating so the chance of meltdown is almost zero.
