>boils water>so you can boil waterreal shit. why did we stop boiling water ourselves and besides NIMBY retards why on earth can I not just build one of these in my backyard>inb4 muh positive reaction scram etc >muh that's a cooling tower it doesn't boil water >muh nuclear wasteI'm pretty fucking sure I can walk ten miles in any direction and detect radon to start prospecting for uranium. this is bullshit.
is it actually illegal to build a nuclear plant in your backyard?
>>17015209The government is much more concerned about people having the radioactive fuel than the machines to use it. They only care about reactors at all because it implies you'll want the fuel
>>17015211Not literally thanks to zoning rules but building and operating nuclear power plants in general is free in most of the world. Well not free as in it doesn't cost money but free as in it isn't not illegal, it is of course hilariously expensive which is why it's not really in fashion anymore. Of course OP will never ever invest into a nuclear company because he doesn't put his money where his mouth is.
>>17015214PATRIOT ACT doesn't solve that?
>>17015268OP herewhy would I invest in nuclear when all of my energy comes from burning natural gas for the rest of the next 50-60 years until oil is depleted globally
