will ge get a loan guarantee for paducah, page-22

Why are we even discussing the "Use it or Lose it" clause on the very eve of an announcement about GLE building a plant at Paducah, one that the DoE want desperately it seems, why else would they have been putting their own input into prototypes for the plant?

I believe it relates to a number of national security issues, one's that the DoE and the US in general would love to have sorted, namely a lack of home grown enrichment, a worry about the future supply of Medical Isotopes, the environmental cleanup at Paducah and there are probably many more?

Does anybody here really believe that the US would like to have their main supply of LEU for the US, supplied by Russia since the closure of the Paducah plant, don't think so?

The US want to stop sending HEU overseas for the production of medical isotopes, they want it produced from LEU, I believe that GE/GLE/DoE/Silex have an answer for that now, read my last post about LIS.

I am convinced that the delay at Wilmington was caused by testing of some new elements (Prototypes)for the Paducah plant, they would have to know that the system works as expected before committing to the contract for Paducah, I can't think of one logical reason why they changed the milestone payments system to a better one for SILEX, unless there was some delay which prevented the start of phase three at the Wilmington plant until the testing for Paducah was completed and this was some sort of compensation for the delay?
