...as a former engineer and manager in the nuclear industry, I strongly support the on-going GEN-IV Nuclear Reactor...and Nuclear Waste Processing...Projects. However, I strongly disagree with what Trump is doing wrt Environmental Safety Reviews. From all I've read and heard, I'm confident that these programs will "Pass Inspection", but it is essential that the public sees for itself the evidence that this is true.
I fear that the justifiable resistance from Environmentalists will be exerted once the House and possibly Senate shift to Democratic control and end up delaying progress because Trump will not yield to reasonable precautions. As with everything else, he finds a way to "Make America God Awful".
