- arethuza 13y agoWas there much involvement of private capital in the initial development of nuclear power? Or indeed in ongoing attempts to investigate fusion power?
- Daniel_Newby 13y agoNo, but because the initial development was a crash-priority war time project. The later generations of fission reactors were privately funded. General Fusion (lead vortex compression) is venture backed. Bussard's fusion company is private, although the get lots of funding from government contracts.
