The last time I heard a physicist evaluate nuclear, it didn't look like any notable improvements happened in the last 20 years.

Well, maybe, but most nuclear reactor designs are at least 50 years out of date, and a lot of progress was made between 1970 and 2000.

Do you have the source where you heard that? Also worth noting that Fukushima, Chernobyl, and Three Mile Island were all built 50-60 years ago.

Right. This is a bit like evaluating airline safety based on the design of Amelia Earhart's plane.
