BTW Henry, if it was possible, who would be your single choice for a

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

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.
