"It is a bit grim but I suppose we're looking to places like India and China for the next big waves of innovation in nuclear energy."
Or the next wave of chernobyls. Bangladesh is about to open their first reactor. Given how much else is not going well in that country, I would not want to live next to that thing. (and I think 1.5 million people do, who have no chance of getting evacuated in time, in case something big goes wrong).
So in general I am really not a fan of regulation - but when it comes to a energy source, where one major accident 35 years ago, and far from where I live, was enough to render the soil around here contaminated, so that collecting mushrooms and eating boar, is still advised against TODAY - then I do see the benefits of regulation.
