Ultimately, I hope the plans work.

Curious how they’re planning on doing this after letting DOGE gut the agencies that will need to follow through.

It’s like they think that science happens through happy thoughts and fairy dust and not by employing… you know… actual scientists.

So they’re trying to accelerate the acceleration of fission?

One could wonder if such plans will just split apart…

Even if they bypass the NRC by having the DOD build/regulate the plants, I'm just not seeing how any nuclear gets built in the US when natural gas, solar, and wind are so damn cheap. Unless the feds pay for the whole thing, nuclear still won't be competitive.

And I'm skeptical that the plan will survive the political backlash. Rightly or wrongly, no one wants to live next to a reactor that *isn't* regulated by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. Just imagine the tv ads...
