Don't Blame ORNL?
Roy I agree with you that ORNL was not to blame for the bad decisions of the 1970s. The decision to advance Plutonium producing reactors was at the hand of Nixon at the height of the cold war. Today the DoE, NRC and all of the National Labs stand as a unified front against all challengers to the LWR and other non-Uranium solid fuel reactors. Sure, they burn taxpayer money on things that will never work, but that is all part of their defensive strategy. A lot of dedicated people worked hard to change this policy over the last few years, only to have people at the National Labs and DoE undermine our efforts. Now they work for China???s interest.
