What is wrong with the venture in the US? Sorry, the green nazis in the motherland would not allow it—forgot that.

China finds it easier to spy and rip off technology when companies set up their facilities close to Chinese spy facilities.

The boys have an easier commute, and can be home with their honeys at night.

So our own gov regulations are sending nuke tech to china.

Great.

President Trump, can you please just fire some if not most gov workers.

FUBG. I didn’t see you giving two shits about regulating our 2nd Amendment rights back in the 90’s when the Clintons were flying into Seattle every month to suck up to your money while their Justice department was going after you at the same time.

You can’t have it both ways.

The Bellevue, Washington-based company is now unsure which country it will work with to conduct trials of its technology, which is desgined to use depleted uranium as fuel for nuclear reactors in a bid to to improve safety and costs

Yeah, thanks to liberal nuclear hysteria and superstition, the US is out of the question. And of course, Western Europe is even further down the road to environment-as-religion. Maybe try India or Brazil.

"...its technology, which is desgined to use depleted uranium as fuel for nuclear reactors in a bid to to improve safety and costs..."

Just one word, Bill: Thorium.

I think it’s a good move especially after I finished reading 100 year Marathon by Pillsbury, how China plans to replace America as a World power. And now the Norks are doing the same thing. Wake up America.

Regulations and fees:

1. The NRC is required by law to recover approximately 90% of its annual budget from the companies and people that we provide services to (e.g., applicants for NRC licenses, NRC licensees, etc). The two main laws that govern NRC’s fee recovery are called the Independent Offices Appropriation Act of 1952 (IOAA), and the Omnibus Reconciliation Act of 1990, as amended (OBRA-90).

2. Does the NRC get all of its funding from the fees that it charges?
No, we receive all of our funding from Congress. As required by law, we then collect approximately 90% of our budget from the fees that we charge over the course of the year, and that money is given back to the U.S. Treasury. This is called “cost recovery”

Is is cheaper and easier to develop nuclear reactors in other countries.
