And this is why nuclear innovation is thriving in third-world countries with little to no nuclear regulation, right?
- hnav 3y agoit’s thriving in China seemingly, in third world countries you can’t get U233 so easily
- littlestymaar 3y agoYou mean U235 I guess, but you don't even need enriched Uranium to have a nuclear reactor (natural uranium reactors are a thing). Also, you're not really praising China for being a land of free enterprise fostering innovation are you? Nuclear (but not necessarily nuclear innovation) works in China because there's strong political will (exactly like it was in France in the 70s and 80s btw).
