Is the Era of Nuclear Power Coming to an End in the US?

15. Sure..

You are wrong. Nuclear power has 4 primary problems - cost, safety, proliferation and waste.
=========================

Look at the Science, and numbers - cost - nuclear is about 2 cents per kwh hour which is comparable to coal.
Wind is 5 cents - over twice what nuclear is, and solar is about 20 cents per kwh. Nuclear is "dispatchable" available 24/7 while wind and solar are not.

In terms of safety; nuclear power is WAY safer than airline travel which we accept; and WAY, WAY, WAY safer than automobiles.
In the USA, nuclear has NEVER killed anyone, nor harmed anyone; - we have the TMI Court case to prove that.
Airliners have killed thousands over the past 50 years that we have had nuclear; and cars have killed over 2 million.

Proliferation is a red herring. Besides, why are you worried about the USA proliferating? The USA has nuclear weapons.
Whether or not the USA uses nuclear power isn't going to change the US nuclear weapons one way or the other.

We are discussing the waste. Reprocessing / recycling changes long-lived waste into short-lived waste that decays to harmless species in a reasonable amount of time.

Problems Solved!!!
