Henry,
Fission has always be a government controlled and funded energy source.
It's current limitations and lack of real progress are self-imposed.
It's broken and can't be fixed in this regard. Blame Leslie Groves and
his successors.

I maybe 75% agree. My reservations are because, I'd say, given the other
applications of the technology, a certain amount of government control
really was inevitable even if the early history had been different. This
applies especially strongly to space applications, which have a tendency to
want (near-)bomb-grade fission fuels.
