I’ve got no problem with that idea—means more job security for me!

“There’s no reason why America shouldn’t.”
It isn’t that we can’t, it is because the bureaucratic nightmare that has been placed over the NRC allows them to arbitrarily order repeated re-engineering of the plants MANY TIMES before it is built.
The goofy regulations also force replacement of obsolete malfunctioning instruments with equally the exact model number, regardless of the age of the equipment, unless that instrument is just no longer available in which case it the plant is forced to spends tens of thousands of dollars approving of a newer model, in spite of that instruments use in tens of thousands of other applications.

Nuclear power is not the only thing McCain eyes on the French model. Immigration, and economic policy also copies the French model, and will have exactly the same success, 10%+ unemployment, and rampant rioting as the underclass seeks to overthrow the native population. Look at the State of France, and see our future.

Nice. But that's the Italian model.

The French did it right.Their Nuclear Plants are all identical, sharing the same parts, skill sets, & operating standards - thereby cheaper & safer to operate

Who says that McCain is not a conservative?
To: Republicain
Well, I’m not a Friend of McCain, but on this issue he is absolutely right.
We need to start building nuclear plants as soon as possible and as fast as possible and as many as possible.
And we need to reverse Jimmy Carter’s idiot rules about nuclear waste disposal. It is not widely realized that the necessity to bury all those highly radioactive, long-lived waste products is entirely Carter’s doing. Most of it, including the most radioactive and longest-lived stuff, can be recycled, once you repeal the government mandates.
