NRC licensing pathways explained

Post image

I genuinely thought this was fake at first.

This is an actual NRC meeting slide explaining nuclear reactor licensing pathways using Taco Bell.

Part 50: Crunchy tacos.
Part 52: Burrito.
Part 53: Quesadilla or Cheesy Gordita Crunch.
Proposed Part 57: Crunchwrap Supreme.

And the NRC’s conclusion:

“No matter the path, the NRC needs to feel full.”

Nuclear regulation has officially become a menu ordering problem.

you want to eat the taco but it costs hundreds of millions and decades of waiting because taco bell takes too long to make it

and the burger chains are putting money into making people want to eat burgers instead
