Old nukes squabbling with new nukes. [View all]

This was predictable. As the trending small modular reactor attracts more and more taxpayer money for the hundred or so competing designs, the old school old guard defenders of "ordinary" reactors are asking not to be forgotten. Or refunded. The only fair thing to do, of course, is hurl money at all of them. This whole nuke thing is going to cost us trillions anyway, so we might as well make everybody rich. Not the utility rate payers, of course. No dessert for you and straight to bed, Mister!
