Of Course There's Nuclear Fission But Is There Nuclear Fusion?
What's up Doc? Yours truly Bugs Bunny reporting live from the hole in the ground news desk! Seems the stock market's gone a little looney – toons that is! After some big shot presidential orders nuclear power stocks decided to take a hop skip and a jump all the way to the moon! Companies like Oklo and NuScale are doing the Bunny Hop of Profits. Even Constellation Energy got a little boost – ain't that somethin'? I always knew those electrons were up to somethin'!
Small Reactors: Are They Dynamite?
Now this Trump fella he's sayin' these small advanced reactors are the future. Says they're gonna be smaller like me compared to Yosemite Sam! But he also mentioned building the BIG ones 'the very very big the biggest!' Sounds like someone's got a case of the gigantism! Still if these small ones are so good maybe they will fit into my hole!
The NRC: From the Tortoise To the Hare?
Here's the kicker Doc: Trump wants the Nuclear Regulatory Commission – that's the NRC for short – to speed things up. They gotta make decisions on those nuclear license applications quicker than I can disappear down a rabbit hole! Eighteen months they say! Why that's practically a lifetime in cartoon years! Sounds like these NRC fellas need to drink more carrot juice. It helps ya think faster ya know.
Uncle Sam's Nuclear Playground
Now get this Doc. Apparently Uncle Sam wants to build nuclear reactors right on his own property! The Departments of Energy and Defense are gonna get in on the act too. Sounds like somebody's planning a backyard BBQ with a little extra… *oomph*! Don't forget to invite me folks I'm a great burger flipper... when I ain't busy outsmarting Elmer Fudd that is.
Uranium: Dig It or Ditch It?
And hold on to your carrots folks 'cause there's more! They're also tryin' to jump start uranium mining right here in the good ol' U.S. of A.! Gotta have that uranium to power those reactors see? And they wanna make more of it too! All I can say is I hope they're careful with that stuff. One wrong move and *KABOOM!* "Of course you realize this means war!"
Big Wigs in the Oval Office: What's the Buzz?
So there was this signing ceremony thing where these fellas named Joe Dominguez from Constellation and Jacob DeWitte from Oklo joined Trump in the Oval Office. Sounds like a fancy party eh? Maybe they had carrot cake! Anyway looks like big changes are a hoppin'! That's all folks! And remember keep your powder dry and your carrots crunchy! Bugs Bunny signing off!
