  • Oh my gosh, we know how to research?? Since when?

    There are a new types of power plant being R&D'd right now.

    One type is a Integral Fast Reactor, which uses the spent fuel from the reactor to help fuel the reactor. Cutting down waste to a fraction of what it was and lessoning the usage of the primary fuel in the reactor.

    Yet another is the Liquid Metal Fast Breeder Reactor, which produces more fuel than it consumes. Thus providing a never ending supply of Uranium for it to use. Also providing a surplus of it. It can use lead as a liquid metal to cool it, providing protection and operational temps at a very high level.

    Again, do the research before praising the words of a man who doesn't know anything about what he's talking about.On How to tell future generations about nuclear waste posted 2 years ago 40 Responses

  • Oh no, not a plane!

    I am amazed the amount of environmentalist ignorance that is on this topic. Nuclear energy is probably the only real substitute for coal burning plants that we have now. What would you consider better, a coal plant right near your city, or a nuclear power plant that is miles away from any civilization and out of fallout (in any fallout at all) distance.

    Nuclear waste disposal (as said by EnergyDude) would be ascertainable if environmentalist politicians would just loosen up a bit and let the facilities transport their wastes to Yucca.

    And looking at accidents, the Chernobyl Plant was maintained by poorly trained engineers that had little idea as to what they were doing. They also made mistakes (human error present) such as running a test that they shouldn't have in the first place. Also the plant was a cryptic model which should never have been in place. (Soviet era power plants were made to produce weapons as well as generate power)

    The reason why people distrust nuclear energy is because the hazard of fallout from a melt down. A melt down would most likely never happen if you didn't put ill-trained engineers into the reactors.

    Some facts:
    -Nuclear power plant core housings are built to withstand Jumbo Jet Airliners Crashing into them.
    -Nuclear power plant security is in the top 3 most secured industry in the United States.
    -Nuclear power plants CANNOT explode like bombs, the only explosion that may occur is the pressure built by the steam generated by the heat of the reactor.
    -Three Mile Island reactor melted down, BUT NO ENVIRONMENTAL CONSEQUENCES HAPPENED, RADIATION WAS CONTAINED.

    Take off your blindfolds and look up some information about nuclear energy and open up your minds to other things. Stop being so narrow minded.On How to tell future generations about nuclear waste posted 2 years ago 40 Responses
