American nuclear reactors could see outages next year – media
According to media outlet The Hill, nuclear reactors in the U.S. could see shutdowns next year or earlier, should Russia decide to stop the export of enriched uranium as a response to Western sanctions. Moscow claims it would only harm the United States itself, as unplanned shutdowns of power plants could result in power-supply outages, with prices rising further. <br> <br>------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- <br>Freedom over censorship, truth over narrative. <br>Follow us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/RTnews <br>Follow us on Telegram: t.me/rtnews

Nuclear power is 100% feasible and has always been. The technical and practical aspect has always existed. The glorious Atoms For Peace propaganda of the 1950's and 1960's showed what we had within our reach *IF* common sense and discipline had prevailed. It could have been done. The Atomic Energy Commission had the wherewithal to develop a good reliable nuclear power plant and then put out for bids to do exactly the same thing across the country. Admiral Rickover's PWR reactor was almost idiot proof and it doesn't matter than it wasn't very efficient. It worked, it was safe, and reliable. It could have been easily redesigned to use lower enrichment fuel and work as a stationary electric power plant.
What fucked it up nuclear power was greedy predatory capitalism that just can't stick to what works. They just refused to come up with one good solid power plant design and make them all the same. That approach wasn't nearly as profitable as building One-Of-A-Kind, Engineer-As-You-Go, nuke power plants. A clusterfuck as it's being built and cannot use economies of scale to mitigate prices.
Contractors and engineers with too much book learning saw an opportunity to over design something and end up making it so complex as to be unreliable and unsafe. Even as previously approved systems go in, they get ripped out and replaced in a haphazard way just because some Jew weasel saw a chance to milk the project for more Federal funding. Cost overruns skyrocketed as they tried to duct-tape and graft new systems that were not part of the original plan. Fucking up what was probably a good system to start with.
So much waste and so many lost opportunities over the past 60 years. So many contractors should have been jailed for corruption and incompetence. So many bureaucrats should have been jailed for enabling this criminal waste of potential. And here we are. Now when we desperately need a standardized nuclear power system, we don't have it. And there's no way in hell it will ever happen now. ZOG-U.S. is going down and there's no more time, financial capital, or human capital, to apply to the problem.
