Nuclear Export Challenges

Brad discusses the potential for building a domestic nuclear export industry in the U.S. but highlights the existing export controls as a significant barrier. Bill expresses skepticism, pointing to a document from the Idaho National Laboratory that suggests extensive changes to the NRC, which he believes would be slow to implement. Both emphasize the detrimental impact of regulatory red tape and litigation on infrastructure projects, using the example of Diablo Canyon to illustrate the irony of environmental litigation leading to increased coal imports.
