Bill Gates has fully realized the potential of nuclear and he has spoken often and a lot on the issue. Here are a few videos that are well worth watching.
The Gate Notes: Nuclear Energy after Fukushima (click on the link, video can not be embedded here)
The Gate Notes: An Energy Briefing with Daniel Yergin: Nuclear Energy
And here are two videos embedded.

Nuclear power plants running on Microsoft software? That’s one place where i really don’t want to see a BSOD.
Well, yes and no. SBO and BSOD is very similar in this case I suppose…
Jokes aside, I agree with you, though I fail to see the safety implication of a BSOD, availability of the plant will suffer but not safety. Nuclear plants tend to fail safe, control system goes down and 2-3 seconds later you will have all rods in the core and a subcritical reactor not to mention half an hour to restart your systems to asure cooling of the core.
In my mind, not a safety problem per see…
