Wish them all the best, really. But I'm really curious what the study actually provided/concluded in terms of the stated goal of using the money to research the development of such a reactor. Because unless the British are so much more efficient than the EU for example, this kind of money just bought a short conversation with McKinsey.
P.S. I think it bought a press release [0].

- ocimbote 4y agoA small conversation with McKinsey can go a long way in terms of influencing public policy.
