“Nuclear regulation” might be better declared as “unclear regulation”.

Nearly eighty years since the designation of nuclear radiation as a “zero-tolerance”, apparently the actual effects have never been revisited and a considerable amount of research has either been left undone, or what has been studied in that time has been largely ignored.

Modern designs of Small Modular Nuclear Reactors have NONE of the design flaws that lead to large releases of radioactive materials. And the radioactive byproducts can be used to “seed” thorium-fueled molten salt reactors, using up what is now termed to be “spent” uranium fuel rods.

Now, more than ever, the world NEEDS copious quantities of CHEAP electricity, and there is no safer or more economical means of generation than nuclear power, be it fueled with uranium, or the newer designs that are fueled by thorium.

We only lack the will to use what we already know how to do.

The globalists don't want us to have clean, cheap energy of any kind.

That's the reason we don't use the technology we already have.

For a second there I thought you meant UN Clear regulation.
as in United Nations

This is no accident. The reason the LNT crowd isn't doing due diligence in research is because they know their theory can't be supported by facts. This is scientific malpractice.

Having worked with radiation for over 40 years, that is the first time I heard that.
