If they wanted to do it again they would pretty much have to start from scratch. The British Nuclear industry built a range of reactors but most of the engineers involved have now retired and the detailed knowledge of how they did it has been lost.

NASA and the British Nuclear Industry both lost important early knowledge.” Can you elaborate on that, please – perhaps with a couple of examples? Thanks very much in advance.
