    China already has Gen IV commercial reactors, this’ll be rehashed Gen II but without guardrails. On the bright side those bastards take a decade+ to come online, by which time this may have blown over, if not there’ll be worse problems. Also on the bright side, I don’t live in the US.

    Golden opportunity for small (thorium so no fission bomb materials) reactor in a container designs to have their day, but noooo. Sigh.

      Par for the course: send billions of dollars to friends of those in power, then eventually decide not to care about results.
