  • I think in nuclear we were very risk-averse and the reason was because we wanted to put in place a very good, strong, safety culture, we wanted to have regulations that were well understood, we wanted to build trust in the communities and we did this through … very transparent processes that were also very long. And this was essential, but now …

    It still fucking is pretty damn essencial!

    they’re experimenting and thinking of different designs

    You don’t want to tinker and experiment with a nuclear reactor in production and there’s already a lot of tinkering and experimenting in the field, just look at SMRs.

    We have been attracting the kind of people that love structures and to follow procedures, which has been really beneficial because that’s what we need for reactor safety. But it kind of scares other personalities away from us, so this business is not full of entrepreneurs any more - it was in the 1950s and 1960s but these people have to be attracted back to the business."

    …at the cost of reactor safety? No thanks.

    and the need for diversity - in terms of gender, age, backgrounds and outlooks

    I was really trying not to find DEI in this… fuck (in Cavil’s portraing of Geralt).
