There are safe ways to do nuclear.

So what is stopping us from doing that? Is it the public mis-conception that the New Zealand Nuclear Free Zone, Disarmament, and Arms Control Act 1987 goes further than banning ships and weapons? As far as I am aware, reactor research is pretty much untapped and totally legal, as long as health and safety concerns are met.
