New DOE and NRC Agreement Will Lead to Faster Deployment and Licensing of U.S. Nuclear Technologies
Nuclear still has its best days to come. The technology still has such a huge potential for improvement. What we have seen so far was more like the baby age and despite the relatively simple and crude safety mechanisms that were in place, still, not more than has happened. All accidents were absolutely preventable and in today’s culture with multiple layers of control mechanisms, and safety switches that cannot be fiddled wit, the potential for accidents goes towards nil. What we need to take care of are the dinosaur reactors and we need better public relations. Not fancy stories but calm and patient explaining. It’s hard, it’s a long shot but it’s worth it.
