What I love about them is that they require a lot of investment, and investment means jobs. The decommissioning of the AVR in Jülich is estimated to cost 2.5 billion euros. That's a lot of jobs! It even translates to American jobs, since the relevant authorities (now public, of course) is planning to export the nuclear waste to USA.[0]
It's a win-win!

- mcculley 2y agoThere are many jobs unfilled. The biggest problem right now is that unemployed people have the wrong skills for the jobs that need to be filled. This trend will accelerate along with technological advances, no matter which kind of economic system is involved.
