yes, using new inherently safe designs and full spent fuel reprocessing to minimize the waste disposal issue. reactor design features should match their operating environment: e.g. in desert areas water cooled reactors cannot be inherently safe, but gas cooled might be, however near lakes or oceans water cooled might be.
one very important feature of inherently safe reactor design is that a meltdown must be impossible. this requires a strongly negative temperature coefficient of reactivity and wide designed in margins of safety.

Should us continue to build nuclear power plants?
yes
How much of nuclear power do you use in the US?
In the US, nuclear power provides about 20% of the total electricity generation, making it the largest source of low-carbon electricity. There are 93 commercial nuclear reactors operating in 28 states.
What percentage of US power production is from nuclear power?
It is 28% nuclear power.
Is the US the only one that has nuclear power in the world?
No but the U.S. is the strongest nuclear power.
Why should us be using nuclear power?
It produces no carbon dioxide and so does not contribute to global warming.
How commonly is a nuclear power plant used in the US?
Illinois is were nuclear power is most used
Which countries operate commercial nuclear reactors?
Several countries operate commercial nuclear reactors, including the United States, France, China, Russia, Japan, South Korea, and Canada. Each country has its own regulatory body overseeing the operation of these reactors to ensure safety and compliance with international standards.
Does Iran need nuclear power?
I don't believe that Iran should have nuclear power because they threaten to bomb the USA if they do get nuclear power.
How does the US get nuclear energy?
from power plants
How many nuclear power plants are presently in the US?
104 operating Nuclear Power units
Is nuclear power still used?
In the US between 25 and 30 percent of the electrical power is supplied by Nuclear Reactors.
Which states have the nuclear power?
You can get a list of US states with nuclear power plants from the NRC website. See link below
