Comment on First planned small nuclear reactor plant in the US has been canceled
Greyghoster@aussie.zone 1 year agoSounds like a very expensive argument to invest billions on the hope that something might happen 😬. Hope it’s not my money.

Literally every industry starts that way. Start small and scale up. Nuclear’s special because we did it once and then almost completely stopped building them globally for so long that the capability faded away.
The tech shifted in the meantime, so even the knowledge that was preserved is for designs we wouldn’t want to build today.
