"Ultra Safe Nuclear Technologies" is a tremendous name for a company that does nuclear stuff.

All I can think of is 30 Rock, when they order takeout from a place called “American Sub Restaurant Very Clean Come In”

This is sarcastic, right? Regardless of whether nuclear is safe or not, the name still rubs me the wrong way, in the same way that "PATRIOT act" or "clean coal" does.

There is not enough material on earth to pollute outer space in any significant way. A greater source of pollution is radio signals.
