[QUOTE="DrWazzock, post: 8011066, member: 2119"] But cheaper and quicker than a large scale nuclear reactor that has the potential turn into a huge slobbering volcano of radioactive material. I agree about the neglect. We handed it all over to China by and large, though a lot of turbine blade theory actually came originally from Chinese academia. They are not daft. Just held back by the regime at times. I was involved in transfer of conventional power station technology to the Chinese back in the 1990’s. It raised more than few eyebrows in technical circles in the U.K. and was considered a mistake but Arnold Weinstock wasn’t going to be persuaded to hold on to GEC so that was the end of that. Watched the huge machine tools get sold to foreign dealers at Trafford Park. And off they went on Dutch low loaders or were cut up on site for scrap. A bit like watching all your farm machinery get sold off before getting the contractors in or letting it. [/QUOTE]
