This is CBSI In The World. I'm John Batchy with Robert Zubrin. His book is The Case

for Nukes, How We Can Be Global Warming and Create A Free, Open, and Magnificent Future.

Addressing the United States and what is to be done, but the ambition to grow more energy

resources without undercutting the environment in some fashion. And we come to news.

Westinghouse Electric, the U.S. nuclear technology giant, is developing a compact version of

its flagship power plant. A move aimed at making its designs more competitive in markets

that don't need large conventional reactors. This is a report from Bloomberg News, most

recently. Robert, this looks like a way forward. As Westinghouse found the magic formula in

Washington, not only to build the air, but to exports, small reactors.

Okay, well, they have found a potentially useful formula. Now, by the way, you should know

right now the people dominating the nuclear reactor export market is Russia. I believe

they're soon going to be overtaken and pushed out of that by China, which has bought

a few Russian nuclear reactors, have copied them, and they're ready to go. Okay, so China

is all business. They may support Russia more than the United States, but they're in it

for the money. And China is building 450 nuclear power plants domestically between now

and the year 2050, and they're going to be exporting them everywhere. But the Westinghouse,

Westinghouse used to export nuclear power plants. So what they've come up with here is the

design for a medium-sized nuclear power plant, 300 megawatts instead of the standard 1,000

or 1,200, which has been the custom recently. And the idea is to go for new cities in the

developing world cities of 100, 200,000 people that are forming as countries in Africa,

you know, industrialized people leave the villages, they go to the cities, and the cities

initially are of medium size. And they're too small for 1,000 megawatt reactor, but maybe
