Nuclear battle heats up in Britain

Britain is like Ontario, in that they are holding a political beauty contest for the next nuclear plant design. The money flows like water, under the table. AECL is an anxious contestant, crossing its fingers, and fluttering its eyelashes.

They could just make the damn decision, but noooo. Sounds like they are just going to reduce the list of 4, down to two. Then, more money could flow during the final bake-off.

I suppose there could be a non-corrupt way of doing this, but much less fun. But, in the end, Britain will supposedly make a decision on just one plant design. Ontario is expected to waffle on two designs, one for Bruce and one for OPG. This avoids the nasty implications of dealing with a jilted lover, who has paid for a lot of dinners!
