- bell-cot 2y agoMy understanding is that the anti-proliferation lobby* is intensely allergic to several of the technologies involved in doing that. *EDIT - I'm referring to the US-centered anti-proliferation lobby. Though "national security establishment" might be a better term. And yes, its ability to influence French, Japanese, etc. domestic nuclear power policy is much more limited.
