Who else is wondering if we will even still be around in 70 years?

How is this technology related? I’m struggling to find the connection.

Nuclear tech is still tech, even if it’s not something that we’ll personally encounter.

Did they actually talk the tech though?

I imagine because there’s some amount of technology involved in nuclear power

Same way all the posts about solar and wind are. It’s about bringing a technology back to the US too

Shouldn’t the article at least talk about the tech then?

It does tho? The whole point is that new reactors need this special HALEU fuel but the only current supplier in the world is from a Russian company, but there’s one starting up in the US now, helped by the government, to provide fuel for a bunch of new nuclear startups that almost all require the special fuel. It even explains what is special about the fuel and how it’s made, and a little about why it’s needed. Not very in depth, but still. It’s more about the logistics and economics of bringing this nuclear tech back to the US than the actual tech itself, which is still valuable in a tech discussion forum.
