New Then what *should* they spend on?
Stimulus bill means get some kind of economic activity going. The Democrats have a whole list of things we should have been spending on anyway. Should they not do anything they've been calling for, just because they thought of it before the previous administration wrecked the economy?

New Complex; highly debatable -- many years to any production,
by which time many other approaches Not-needing hugely expensive decommissioning may well render that approach antediluvian (like so much in the minds of the sci-illiterate Class, especially MBA-suits: the major contributors to Congressperson-purchases.)

(And no need to cite France as 'blazing the way'; their decommissioning expense -- if they can afford it THEN -- shall be as useful a litmus as anywhere.) We have yet to touch most of the egregious isotopes everywhere around Hanford, Oak Ridge and numerous smaller sites, none of which ever get to MSM. Most readers (and 'reporters' + Editors) can't pronounce radionuclides, let alone discuss their relevance.
