Nuclear stuff always sounds scandalous, important...

Really it isn't. It is stupid politicians make it scandalous and important. Just like space or aircrafts.

If Ukrainians bought shitty aftermarket ones from the US, jokes on them.

They can't use them in live station not only because politicians making it scandalous and important also created a lot of international authorities that have to authorize such thing, but also because it is just dangerous to use different fuel in the system that is designed for another fuel.

But it sucks balls. Nuclear energy is a really shitty and expensive way to generate power.

Nuclear energy is not expensive or shitty. Currently used way of converting it to electricity is expensive and shitty.

Did you ever heard about any accident with RITEGs? No. They can't blow, melt, they don't need maintenance, they even don't have any moving parts. They are cheap and reliable. But they can't be scaled. They are devices for personal use. So, useless for those who control everything nuclear.

It's just a mechanism for corruption.

Of course. And big one, since it declared scandalous, important, dangerous and so on.
