you shouldn't be, it designs you into a hole and you get stuck with old tech.
Newer designs are safer.
Sorta like the NHTSA not allowing the safer Audi laser headlights because they don't meet current requirements I guess?
Ok, fair enough. I'll amend my statement a bit:
I'm ok with going a bit overboard with regard to smart, logical, scientific nuclear reactor safety regs. Better?

Damn, I had no idea that that was near me.
Earlier this morning, the Hanford Site—which is where the United States produced most of its plutonium for nuclear weapons, including the bomb dropped on Nagasaki—declared an emergency. Considering all the horrible stuff still contained within America’s most contaminated nuclear site, that did not sound good. But in a conversation with someone ordered to take cover, it turns out it might not be as bad as it sounds.
All personnel have been accounted for and there was no evidence of a radiological release, Destry Henderson, a Hanford Site spokesman said in a video posted on its Facebook page

They used to say that nuclear power would be too cheap to meter.

In reality the price of electricity is halariously low.
the phrase was coined by Lewis Strauss, then chairman of the United States Atomic Energy Commission, who in a 1954 speech to the National Association of Science Writers said:
"Our children will enjoy in their homes electrical energy too cheap to meter... It is not too much to expect that our children will know of great periodic regional famines in the world only as matters of history, will travel effortlessly over the seas and under them and through the air with a minimum of danger and at great speeds, and will experience a lifespan far longer than ours, as disease yields and man comes to understand what causes him to age."[2][3]
It is often assumed that Strauss' prediction was a reference to conventional uranium fission nuclear reactors. Indeed, only ten days prior to his “Too Cheap To Meter” speech, Strauss was present for the groundbreaking of the Shippingport Atomic Power Station where he predicted that, "industry would have electrical power from atomic furnaces in five to fifteen years."

Not to mention all those other predictions have come TRUE.

You can't know his level of seriousness.
My point is don't believe when someone promises something too good to be true, especially if it's been promised before and was clearly not true.

I agree. BUT, this article simply claims that it can be made cheaper than natural gas. What wrong with that? Its in fact been a long standing goal for nuclear power to get itself cheaper than coal. Natural gas is just the new coal.wap wrote: ↑Thu Dec 07, 2017 1:21 pmBig Brain Bradley wrote: ↑Thu Dec 07, 2017 11:56 am

Its not a goal thats too good to be true. And it sure as fuck will be easier than PV solar or wind cheaper than coal.

Nothing wrong with the goal but I'll believe it when I see it. It remains to be seen whether or not it's too good to be true. The proof will be in the pudding.Big Brain Bradley wrote: ↑Thu Dec 07, 2017 1:29 pmI agree. BUT, this article simply claims that it can be made cheaper than natural gas. What wrong with that?
