It appears the new and gov't sanctioned nuclear reactor of choice is an SMR design by BWC, the first being built as a demonstration unit for the TVA.

"It won't happen BECAUSE of the gov't.." LMAO. Show me research on this not funded by the government. Show me research not funded by any government in the world. Mark Halper writing for SmartPlanet reports the U.S. Department of Energy is quietly collaborating with China on an alternative nuclear power design known as the molten salt reactor that should run on thorium for fuel. oilprice.com "that's fine for the gov't to offer insurance to that industry" Not if you are a person who believes in limiting government. That's for the private sector to do. That's for self-insurance. Otherwise, it's "socialism". You can't have it both ways. Stop the bullshit.
