I HATE THUS PHRASE! I hate it SO much! I've seen in in nearly every article I've ever seen when it comes my field, and it drives me so fucking crazy.
In the US, for whatever reasons, the idea that we can some how regulate our policy in a way that will lead to a nuclear renaissance is very prevalent among nuclear engineers and aspiring students.
We've all got our different ideas about the subject but people refuse to look at the big picture. It's always so careful adjustment that's argued to be some radical concept, but others don't even touch the idea that the US nuclear sector should finally just be nationalized.
There is no regulatory policy we can copy from chiba that will make our industry work. We'd have to copy the Chinese model itself for it to work, but nuclear students largely still think China makes low quality works and think that their working conditions are unsafe/close to falling apart.
They'll site tofu dreg construction and other bullshit, and I'd just sit there saying "where the fuck are you getting your info" and I get a shrugg in response as if it's a self evident truth.
These are people who can comprehend nuclear physics. I've seen them do some pretty complicated shit, many of which I'll happily admit are more intelligent on matters if our science then myself. So it's mind numbing that they treat this issue so unscientifically.
Do many people just think that the US industry is different, and it is because it's entirely private unlike other countries. Yet they refuse to adapt and advocate for an actual beneficial solution.
Just one more SMR bro, I promise this one will revolutionize the industry bro! One more Gen 4 reactor concept bro!
WHO FUCKING CARES HOW CLEVER A DESIGN IS IF IT NEVER GETS BUILT.
There were some saving graces mind you and I'd reconized a shift at some point in our academic journey together which looked like it could be positive, but it was largely a tepid environment unbefitting such a wonderful field science.
