Ooops I used a semicolon instead of a colon. Sorry about that. My eyesight is not good. Chris, Have a look at Modular Moving Pebble Bed reactors. They are fail safe, neither large not particularly expensive. I read the Chinese were planning build units ~100 MW in factories and transport

RE: Re; [Vo]:Climate And Nuclear Energy

It would be sad to bring back nuclear power, not only because of costs and waste concerns but also because of the politics It entrenches. Big, expensive centralized, state affiliated power instead of the opposite. I also believe that Saudi Arabia is one of the top 3 obstacles to world peace

Re; [Vo]:Climate And Nuclear Energy

Chris Zell, "Better hurry with LENR because climate change concern is being used to bring back nuclear power." If more traditional nuclear is safe and cheaper than LENR I would be all for it. We should have built a bunch of LFTRs 20 years ago. Even Modular Moving Pebble Bed reactors are not

Re: Re; [Vo]:Climate And Nuclear Energy

Regarding Pebble Bed reactors American utilities don't want Pebble Bed reactors. These reactors have low power density. Utilities wsnt high power densities and a reactor that is as big are possible(buzzword: economies of scale). Also Pebble Bed reactors produce radioactive silver that make

Re: Re; [Vo]:Climate And Nuclear Energy

My understanding is that there is a glut of fissionable materials (plutonium) in the hands of the military today - both in the US and Russia - due to the strategic arms limitation treaty and decommissioning of many nuclear weapons. It would be surprising if either power is significantly concerned

Re: Re; [Vo]:Climate And Nuclear Energy

Yes, Bob isn't it funny; we have two large organizations both concerned with our best. They just end up with different opinion about issues that has a definite answer. Now we need a committee to find out what is the truth. That will be a secret committee (it is about radioactive material). After
