I wonder how the energy density of one of these compares to a traditional reactor. That's what I would intuitively correlate with safety. Solar and wind, for example, are very safe mainly because they has such a low energy density.
- sandworm101 10y agoSafety is in the eye of the beholder. Turbines do fail, sometimes with fire and explosions. When so spread outt, hundreds of turbines, forest fire is a risk. A nuke plant, being smaller, can be better covered by safety systems than an expansive wind farm. But the practical differences between the two techs are so great that direct comparison is probably pointless imho.
