Nice shifting of goal posts. First it was cost now it’s that defense industry has an interest in commercial power generation. Like maybe. But also countries have no problem creating nukes without commercial reactors so maybe that doesn’t matter so much? There are also reactor designs that result in fuel that can’t be reprocessed into plutonium / weaponry. Not sure the state of that research / if it’s even worth bothering to do so because generating plutonium isn’t that hard in the grand scheme of things and if the defense industry wants to do it they’ll build a reactor anyway, it’ll just maybe cost more. Not to mention that the US has all sorts of nuclear reactors already and they don’t need to rely on commercial ones so much.
