We may be the only source of higher intelligence in the cosmos, but our act of avoiding nuclear power generation is one of auto-genocide.[James Lovelock, 2019]
I think some people who want to advance nuclear energy without rocking the boat too much are pretending that we can maintain status quo for the existing fleet and have new rules for SMRs.
The NRC has been very clear that they are entirely incapable of supporting this. Without explicit legislation, they will proceed with suffocating "ALARA through inspection" forever.
