Congress passed a bipartisan law a few years ago directing the Nuclear Regulatory Commission to change this and develop technology-agnostic rules. That’s a good idea, problem solved and now we can see if the nuke enthusiasts are full of shit or not. https://t.co/wH2VEIulHb https://t.co/2NNSJaeodv — PolitiTweet.org

Existing regulations for nuclear prescribe that you build it in a certain way, and that way is super expensive. Engineers are excited about new tractor technologies they say are cheaper but prescriptive rules means you can’t do new stuff. https://t.co/wH2VEIulHb https://t.co/Y7kwb4nUEy — PolitiTweet.org

Except then in its preliminary draft the NRC didn’t do what it was supposed to do — instead they set a new, even higher safety bar even though existing nuclear is already the safest energy source around. https://t.co/wH2VEIulHb https://t.co/uRsVAFJTmd — PolitiTweet.org
