This is a much cheaper and faster way to get nuclear power.

    they will leave 100% of the cost of the nuclear disposal to the taxpayers.

    As opposed to the military handling disposal of the reactor materials… which is paid by… the taxpayers.

    You didn’t think this comment through every much, or at all really, did you?

      I trust the military doing it to spec a million times more than any company executives. It’ll probably be left to pollute the area they hide it for decades before taxpayers have to pay for it.

        The military probably will do better than a private company but also remember that the military has had numerous toxic waste problems. Camp Lejeune’s cancers and all the firefighting PFAs contaminating water supplies are just two i can think of off the top of my head but i’m sure theres many more.

      The DOE doing it is already financially accounted for and there is a professional staff that are trained on how to do it
