Critical article to read wrt both US energy independence and reducing carbon footprint. The current version of the NRC isn’t working. The US has fallen dramatically behind Korea & China; we produce new nuclear at 4x the cost. We should reimagine NRC from blank sheet of paper. One thing many may not know, the NRC is a “fee for service” regulatory agency. The more hoops they require the more revenue they bring in and the agency grows and grows. Horrible structure if our goal is to lead on innovation and costs.
