The new Big Global HOAX – LITTLE Nuclear Reactors – a marketing triumph! theme for December 20
For a while, it was confined to the “nuclear nations” – USA, Russia, China, and some historic failed attempts in India and South Africa. Now these still non existent fantasies are being marketed to countries all over the world
The “peaceful nuclear industry’ with very big reactors, and less big “research” reactors, has always been an expensive front for the nuclear weapons industry.
But, things have changed. The big reactors have got massively expensive, and the toxic radioactive trash that they produce has become a global and unsolvable problem. Shock horror – people don’t like them! Non nuclear cyclotrons can produce medical radioisotopes – no need for the research reactors, either.
The global nuclear weapons industry is in a panic, because:
It must somehow keep up that ‘peaceful’ mask of “commercial nuclear” , and “medical nuclear”. and
more shock horror – people don’t want nuclear weapons, and the U.N. Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons will come into force on 22 January 2020 – the nuclear weapons industry will become illegal, just like chemical warfare and land mines.
What to do to keep the nuclear weapons industry going? Where to get money for it? Where to get the essential nuclear personnel? Where to get the money and training for these nuclear experts?
The solution – a new gimmick to enthuse the population yet again about the nuclear industry- the Small Nuclear Reactor
And those wonderful marketing minds raced around to find that solution, and to market it as the solution to some other grave global problem. And there was a new problem sitting there, waiting to be exploited. – CLIMATE CHANGE!
You’ve gotta hand it to these nuclear snake oil salesmen – they are doing a great job, worldwide – especially seeing that they know that Small Nuclear Reactors would be no use whatever against global heating. And governments and media are swallowing their story.
