Pebble bed modular reactors are the best bet I've seen:

I definitely agree. And if we're going to see any transition to a hydrogen fuel cell economy, such power will be absolutely necessary to convert water into hydrogen.

I don't have a problem with nuclear power in general, and TMI actually proved that even the complex old designs are pretty bulletproof, they couldn't have screwed up that reactor worse if they tried, and it released negligible radiation. But: the cheap thing is pretty hypothetical when you're talking about a paper design. Originally, in the old "atoms for peace" days, it was all supposed to be too cheap to meter.
