I've started reading a bit on this and would ask another question.
If its so good, why isnt it being "actively" implemented/promoted
around the world, where the nuclear debate isnt as hot as here?
After all, the people who stand to make lots of money from it
wont care about the losers. ( Ain't capitalism great )
Also, when people talk nuclear energy "costs" in these debates
i can't tell whether or not the "true" decomissoning costs
are built into the supply charges.
Irrespective of "safety whilst running", what is the real lifecycle cost
of these units. Ie Imagine a private company running a reactor
then when its life is up, going broke and leaving the cleanup to others.
That sort of business plan never happens
, does it?
