  1. I copy deepisolation on every comment string I can. I am very glad to see the EO’s they deal with all the issues I have been concerned about for many years. I am amazed at commentators that in one breath deny problem with delays is the NRC regulation or LNT or ALARA. That SMR’s are a side show and we cannot get to goals with them. Then in the same conversation near the end say Nuclear is hard to build because it is highly regulated and expensive to build. I want to scream and pound my head into the wallllll…….. ARGGGG!!

  2. David, here’s a good rebuttal to exactly the comment that is intended only to frustrate you. It’s by Sabine Hossenfelder, a theoretical physicist who advocates science without the gobbledygook. (“Is nuclear power really that slow and expensive as they say?”; URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5EsBiC9HjyQ)

  3. Chris Aoki, Yes, excellent summary. I am impressed by the boiling water reactor (BWR) capacities and build times in Japan. Those BWR reactors are also able to load follow with amazing speed and have pretty large MW capacity. Let’s go for a bunch of those please! About the NRC. I propose they can adjust NRC regulations to look more like Qatar in a few months. I am amazed at people who think business investing 5 to 10 billion in a plant need a regulator breathing down their every move to make sure they don’t hurt someone.
