A new (to the U.S.) and sometimes controversial nuclear reactor is the Pebble Bed Modular Reactor (PBMR). Proponents point out that the reactor is smaller, less expensive, cleaner and safer than other nuclear plants. Opponents of nuclear power say it produces more nuclear waste than existing nuclear reactor designs. Both sides of this discussion have valid points. The PBMR is classified as a high temperature gaseous reactor (HTGR or HTR).
