"You did not answer my question. You originally stated that systems like the LTFR with next to no chance of catastrophic failure are protected by the bill and will not be under scrutiny. I'm sorry, but myself and our advisor are not seeing where that is stated. We agree with the sentiments of environmental protection, of course, but before we support this bill we wish to ensure that our future nuclear power generation projects are protected from unwarranted scrutiny, and infact your answer seemed like a round about way of saying 'Yes, this bill will, but you know, aren't you afraid of other nations nuclear systems?'."
"Allow me to clarify our issue for you. What we are even more fearful of the negitive effect a blanket bill over all fission technology will have on the global population. Due to the failings of other nations undue fear about nuclear power will grow in the public consensus, leading to more nations relying on fossil fules. We have an entire divsion dedicated to positive propaganda and quelling these undue fears about nuclear energy. This bill could undo a lot of that work."Separatist Peoples wrote:"Then, Dustain is very lucky that Ambassador Fulton hasn't gotten his way with the Secretariat, because even the C.D.S.P., which is many times your size militarily, would rather yield to a few inspectors rather than face defeat and occupation from a significantly larger force, or economic collapse from heavy sanctions. However, it's hardly bullying when your leaders signed our nation into a contract stipulating compliance, and then promptly promise to break their own word."
"I am under no obligation to discuss what our response would be to such an invasion, nor get into dick waving contest with a nation that's no doubt going to run into logistics problems in the first hours of any conflict as their contractors extort them and their people protest, but I will assure you that any benifits gained from such a conflict will not outweigh the costs. You may see this as breaking our word, but we have a lot of resoruces devoted to nuclear power. Our first priority must be to our people, and the benifit of being part of this council will deminish significantly if this bill is ratified."
"One must also be concerned with what we in the nuclear community refer to as 'groupthink.' We must be wary of what we think to be 'without fail', lest we be the next 'Nuclear Titanic.' As perfect as we may believe a system to be, complacency, and therefor ourselves, are our worst enemy, Mrs. Katyusha.
"Furthermore, if this bill does anything to harm the local opinion, it would suggest your nuclear safety would be inadequate anyway, as our requirements are actually rather loose as it is. If anything, any pro-nuclear nation should be furthered by this resolution through the positive reinforcement that they were a benchmark nation to be modeled after due to having to do nothing to comply with the resolution.
"As for a LFTR, a typical LFTR will have active Fission Product Removal; the reactor itself has little DHG associated with it. The containment for the DHG of the fission products may need it's own DHR, but his is far less a concern due to the heavy reduction of present fissile material. This falls under clause 2b of Requirements."
