"Do we have any experienced nuclear engineers capable of designing the equipment and plant?"

Yes. Just because reactors haven't been built in the US doesn't mean that US companies haven't been building reactors in the rest of the world. And the Navy still builds, installs, and runs a LOT of nukes. The expertise is there. All that is needed is to get the eco-idiots and their litany of lawsuits out of the way.

100 nuclear plants were licensed and built in the 20 year heyday — average of 5 per year from 1960 to 1980. I haven’t kept up with global nuclear expansion — have that many been built globally the last 30 years? Is the experience in the U.S.? Or Japan?
