Did Rick get any information on the fuel failures? I actually don't think the administration is very pro nuclear. They will go around trying to get the nukies and utilities to support the administration, but trump won't put any real skin in the game. The dems act like in ways with the anti nuclear groups, but really don't actively show skin deep support.
U.S. Energy Secretary Rick Perry and Rep. John Katko (R-Camillus) toured the FitzPatrick Nuclear Power Plant in Oswego County Wednesday as part of his push to “make nuclear cool again.”

FitzPatrick Cycle 23 Fuel Defects
On November 5, 2017, Exelon identified a third fuel defect in the cycle 23 core that has resulted in full insertion of five control rods to date to mitigate the consequences of operating with defective fuel in the current fuel cycle. Exelon initiated a root cause investigation under IR 4097375 that will not be complete until the defective fuel is cleaned and examined in detail following completion of the next refueling outage.
