A slightly fuller picture before Harry posts to say that it is.


It's sad that the government is prepared to pour massive amounts of
subsidy into renewables (ROC's), and allow them to charge high prices
for their electricity (CFD's), yet is being mealy-mouthed about the
best long-term option this country has for carbon-free generation for
many decades into the future.


Can't help thinking, too, that China and Japan saw getting their designs
into Britain as a way into Europe and other first world markets, given
the UK reputation for having a strict but effective regulatory
environment. And something approaching international standardisation has
got to happen if nuclear is to be a big part of decarbonisation.

There are already international standards
There is no need for decarbonisation.
