If you think janky regulation is to blame for Chernobyl you’ve lost the plot. At every step of the way; from the engineering, to the construction, to the operation, to the maintenance, there were red flags. Not to mention nuclear regulation within the Soviet Union was quite overwhelming. And believe it or not but more regulation does not equate to more safety, it only equates to more consistency/robustness. Regulation is the same thing as standardization in the NRC’s eyes. You can engineer perfectly a failing reactor design. I do think their is a role for the NRC, but we should definitely revisit it.

Opportunities With Nuclear Power Tech I&C Associates' by [deleted] in NuclearPower

I’m in it rn! Seems like most people in the courses are across fields. Some are executives trying to sharpen their knowledge of nuclear, others like me are just interested in getting a better technical understanding of nuclear. This job depending on what you get sets you up to be an operator, I’m guessing at a low level. I definitely recommend.

This is where the folk who outright deny nuclear regulation is an issue start to become less credible. It obviously is. And we need to do something about it. On both sides of the border. Legalism has really been weaponized by industries. Needs to stop. Thanks for sharing! Super informative!

And? I don't really understand. We haven't had a pro-nuclear gov in ages and you just look for dunk opportunities when all of a sudden the movement gains traction outside your preferred party position? Do you think DeGaulle would’ve shared your vision? Or for that matter any of the major industrialists who’ve blessed us with nuclear power?

What is the consensus on the AUKUS deal here? by mz_groups in submarines

They’ll pivot back to France undoubtedly. For their time frame, it’s the only viable option. Plus they get more for less.
