The USA should start a civilian nuclear corps. Expand training at the many nuclear power training center and teach double the students at the nuclear power school there; hands on training they split up to naval reactor training they currently have and land training at wherever they build the first land reactor. Pay the same as a us navy plant operator gets paid. Bootstrap the whole thing off of the nuclear navy like they did with the space force a while ago did with the Air Force’s space command, but do a fork into two orgs, not a rename. Pick a single plant design for equipment and build them all over the country; naval reactors are expensive so train this corps on the land design.

Boom, there you have it, a nuclear remains in the USA. They won’t do it though.

Good job Canada
