Should the reactor core control itself?

When government finally has the cahunas to establish an authority above the reach of special interests that is also empowered to bring those who would rather operate outside of any control framework, regardless of how much or little it impacts at all on their obligation to comply, then the system may get somewhere.

This bit missed a bit. It probably would have been understood in context but the point is that unless an authority is empowered to bring all participants into line by whatever means that ensures compliance, then we might finally get somewhere. But while the playing field is only levelled for some and while information is still allowed to be veiled, then the ability of companies to flout regulations and exploit loopholes will still be the status quo.

The untold regulation is not working we need a few more volumes another 1000 pages or so should do the trick, and another couple of bureauratcracies.

Just a thought on a topic that comes up quite regularly. We have those who are convinced that market forces should rule our economy and that the best strategy is to let the market just regulate itslef and not worry about trying to control it.

Yet the thought crossed my mind that if anyone suggested that the core of a nuclear reactor should run itself, that ...[text shortened]... mehow be more beneficial for humanity.

Does anyone care to discuss or explain this absurdity?

I design nuclear reactors. The jaw-dropping ridiculousness of your reactor has me wanting to tear my eyeballs out of my skull.
