If you head the department for nuclear safety that does give you an incentive to approve things because you want to grow your budget. At the same time a nuclear safety scandal is still bad for your reputation and career.
Fair point. We should be going for government sponsored insurance. The tax should be inclusive of both the review and premiums for insuring against resonably nessisary disaster cleanup, with the tax expected to pay for this but not generate substantially more revenue than that.
Wouldn’t this almost precisely incentivize approving anything immediately?
Presumably you would still hold them accountable for safety though? The point is to have a balance that properly recognizes tradeoffs
