"Because of the increasingly politicized debate about offshore outsourcing in terms of US jobs as well as concerns about quality and security, there has been a concomitant trend of companies utilizing agents working from their homes," said Loynd.

“…Additionally, using techniques developed in Japan and elsewhere, the plants of the future will likely employ extensive modular construction techniques, with modules barged in from distant ports to be assembled with massive cranes. This modular construction provides licensees with the opportunity to increase quality and “reduce costs”…. There will be challenges associated with this verification, however, given that the staff may need to inspect modules during their construction overseas since there may be limited access to components once a module is installed at the facility….”

You see these guys have no idea about how our popular political cultural images will interplay with these new techniques –like our trade deficit, illegal immigration, globalization, third world sweat shops without regulations, potential subtle terror sabotage of the modules…ect.

What you are going to get is – do you want a massive Wal-Mart nuclear power plant that was constructed by Indonesian sweat shop labor –by kids being paid 25 cents an hour with no labor or quality laws?

Come on they are going to say it’s going to be unprecedented with the majority of the fuel and construction being done by non American sources. The scandal not even mentioned is how much of the engineering is going to be foreign done on the internet –like in India- whereby they undercut the wages of the USA white collar engineers, architects and designers. Will they say our universities aren't putting out enought engineering graduates in the appropriate the quantity and qualities?

It’s going to be slave labor and slave engineering done on the internet.
