Controversial Reactor is Rapidly Gaining Funding Support

[QUOTE="russ_watters, post: 6022413, member: 142"] Who would judge the research to decide which category each project falls into? As you say, this is inherently political and immensely complicated. There isn't necessarily a right or wrong answer, but I'm not sure I personally agree with the approach. I think the government and people should have the right to decide more directly how their money is spent. Anyway, regarding the article, I see some of the usual red flags in it* (if the Union of Concerned Scientists opposes something, that is almost enough on it's own to trigger my support), so I'd have to put some work into looking into this project to decide if I support it. *Besides the UCS issue, the idea that this could be a "boondoggle" or "pork" would seem unlikely to me. The federal government has a pretty solid recent history of [B]breaking[/B] [B]laws[/B] to [B]avoid[/B] spending money on nuclear power. That includes the Congressmen who's states/districts would be receiving the money! [/QUOTE]
