Not disagreeing with you, but it might still be ok. I don't believe early fission reactors were cost effective either. If we build a few with heavy subsidies and create an economy around them, we may get more commercial players involved, and a lot more investment dollars chasing the problem.
- justincormack 6y agoThe early fission reactors were to make bombs not electricity. Large subsidies available there.
- pm90 6y agoI think it was clear from context that I meant fission reactors designed for electricity production. These reactors are significantly different in design from reactors used for producing weapons grade, highly enriched fissile material, and required significant investment in its own right to develop safe, commercial reactors.
