Considering the huge risk someone would be putting many others in by attempting to construct and run a fission facility, I'm not sure anyone should be "free" to do so.

What's your definition of "free?"

I'm possibly free to construct and run a fission facility, but I still have to follow the relevant regulations at all steps of the process.

But a coal plant spewing radioactive by-products into the air is perfectly kosher, amirite?
No, I believe you are wrong.
Good, because it sure sounds wrong to me. Otherwise, I'd have to believe that radioactive pollution is only a problem when it looks bad on CNN.
