Canada beats Britain in race to launch first mini-nuclear reactor in the West. Whats about The USA?

Can D. Trump crash US COMMIES (GREENIE saboteurs ) and bring back (big time) nuclear (It's the best and greenest energy of all) power ?
i voted - I am not sure.

Wait until the greenies in Canada form up to stop it.

The US already has small nuclear reactors in all of our carriers and also in a bunch of submarines. We built that shit DECADES ago.

Somehow the Navy didn't get the NRC to license the design on land.
That might be one way Trump can get a SMR design approved, if its robust enough to withstand an earthquake.

looks like Canada leads the way !

It makes sense that they didnt want a bunch of civilians on land seeing their tech and selling it to our enemies, which certainly would have happened over the decades. Civilians do work on aircraft carrier reactors, but they are highly scrutinized and not likely to sell us out.

You dont power a nation with mini reactors. You want full sized nuclear monsters hooked up to the electrical grid.

not sure about it, many greenies in Canada have switched the side

Nuclear Power? Yes please, Green Party!​

i saw this argument before, why do you think so ?

Yes, its cheaper to make a mini reactor, and faster. That doesnt mean it will produce as much energy as a full sized reactor, which will last for DECADES. Im no expert, but i would imagine that the cost benefits are better with full sized reactors, over time.

The US is rich as fuck. We dont need to save money in the short term. Short term thinking is for loser nations.
