A Tortoise Approach for US Nuclear Research and Development

| July 30, 2018

Summary

This article appeared in the Comment section of Nature Energy.

In Aesop's fable, a swift hare races with a deliberate tortoise. In the end, the tortoise wins by taking a slow and steady approach. The authors argue that, given the economic constraints on US deployment of nuclear power, a "tortoise strategy" is more prudent for US government nuclear R&D efforts.
