#1 "the development of nuclear reactors that are safe, affordable and environmentally friendly,"

wont matter. the nut roots wont let it happen.

#4 U.S. Department of Energy scientists say they've created a computer algorithm that allows a substantially enhanced view of nuclear fission.

So why don't we just publish the algorithm or at least leave it on the internet somewhere so that terrorist-supporting regimes can "steal" it and use it against everyone they don't like.

#5 In Uncle Sam's nuclear Navy, the safety section of the reactor plant manuals talked about how the reactions were calculated in one inch layers. That was done by slide rule and mechanical calculators. So the best these new codes can do is make them safer in design, the real safety equipment are the trained and motivated operaters.
