Because nuclear is not a threat. This is the first reactor in 30 years. At this rate, we’ll have a fully nuclear grid in 87,000 years, assuming US electricity consumption doesn’t increase in that time.
Yeah, I suppose the proliferation of any sort of nuclear plants arent seen as a threat to them yet. If the natrium plants take off, which seems to be the biggest push, maybe they will start complaining about them in the next decade or two.
