Why so many still import from Russia

the tech to enrich and process it

If you watch some of the early American nuclear projects it seems like its about as hard to work with as coal, and enrichment means spinning it. Its all known quantities.

Also while I’m here, the quanties of nuclear waste are so small compared to the literal mountains of flyash power plants make. And the french are really good at reprocessing it. I think we can do better than what the Americans did with their miniature nuclear reactor on Greenland (just flushed the toxic waste into a cavern drilled into the ice, along with all the poops).

Also, nobody ever seems to want to talk about the radioactive output of coal stations just burning coal with trace radioactive elements in it. Just straight up the stack and over the neighbourhood.

It was also fortunate that all it did was contaminate some towns and land forever uninhabitable.

I kinda understand the paranoia, I just wish I could hope that economies of scale would kick in after a while but we’ll just not build another one for almost exactly the right amount of time for all the institutional knowledge to disappear.
