It was a republican - Nixon - who killed further development on a nuclear system which was proven immune to the incidents which have plagued the tea-kettle (water-moderated) designs since their inception - well after they'd already been proven to be substantially safer (actually "intrinsically safe") under a number of test scenarios which had already resulted in accidents that had killed people during the 1950s. The MSR designs either shut down, didn't react, or climbed slightly above peak power and then settled back down again, rather than running away or going prompt critical.
