nice poster, actually
it seems fukushima is becoming a double edged issue. on the one hand most see it as a failure of nuclear energy as a whole, but it's acting as a sort of negative comparison to LFTR, highlighting the safety of such a potential reactor.

no, the united states says a few things

the nrc says;
"LFTR is unproven and experimental, we only deal in light water because we know exactly how it works, no licenses to build reactors for you"

the military says;
"this is nice, but we already have a relatively simple system in place for powering our forces, no funding for you, or at least not very much"

the public says;
"NOT MY MY BACKYARD"

the government says;
"i want the public's vote, so whatever they say goes"
