Opposition to irradiated foods is generally rooted in ignorance. It’s a great way to extend shelf life, reduce illness, and reduce food waste while leaving no trace. And it avoids the need for chemicals on the food which you can end up ingesting.

Misunderstandings about uranium mining are rampant. It's important to note that energy density of what you mine is pretty important in reducing how much you need to mine. Keep that in mind with uranium, which has a massive energy density advantage.

This should be a lesson for all journalists covering nuclear. You're not being even handed when you include uninformed commentators who are expressly against a technology, regardless of the facts, and are repeatedly proven wrong by the facts.

"Yet if the roughly $3.5 trillion invested in renewable power since 2000 had all backed fission, I believe the advances in that technology would have led all remaining coal- and oil-fired power plants to have disappeared from the face of the Earth by now."

If you see Ed Lyman quoted in an article about nuclear it's most likely he is wrong on most or all accounts. He is anti-nuclear, has little technical credibility, and should not be given a platform as an expert by media organizations. Please do better journalists!

MIT report highlights a key point: nuclear is needed for decarbonisation. Also points out important policy options, but as often found in these types of studies, it discounts the potential that broad innovations in deployment models, and the associated changes in culture have.

One of the moral hazards of DOE FOAs for industry is that they solicit proposals from groups that aren't serious enough to pursue ideas if the government doesn't fund them. This dilutes meaningful proposals from serious groups and invites fickle projects with tenuous commitment.
