I remember a similar solution that was marketed in a German mail order catalogue in late 1990s. It could have been Conrad, but I'm not 100% sure. I recall it being a USB peripheral, though. (Maybe I could find more about it in time...)

The UI widget toolkit and the low-level image processing code are in C++ but the people involved have said that the remaining half of the application is written in Lua. Nothing to do with plugins, really.

Or, they could just shut down their nuclear plants and the problem with nuclear fuel stockpile goes away as well. And in fact, this is vastly easier to accomplish, and exactly the thing they're already doing.

Considering that you can't use raw uranium but need fuel assemblies, you'd need a replacement manufacturer of fuel assemblies, not just a uranium stockpile. But of course Germany was scheduled to shut down its nuclear power plants

I thought it meant the opposite, especially in context. Surely the problem of US nuclear construction doesn't lie in the NRC making concessions.

Uranium mining is not your weak link here -- enrichment and fuel assembly production is. As far as I'm aware, Russia has over 40% of global capacity for this.
