- nukemandan 8y agouse it as is in Molten Salt Reactors. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molten_salt_reactor https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molten_salt_reactor
- jacobush 8y agoIronic, since Germany is maybe the only country I would trust with such facilities. From a pure not-fucking-it-up perspective. (Ahem... cough Sellafield...)
- kuschku 8y agoWell, look at the Asse II, Germany has a long tradition of fucking uo everything nuclear. The french actually are allowed to do it, and have the facilities, and don't have nearly as many issues.
- lispm 8y agoI would not count on it, since in France everything nuclear is state controlled and largely state owned. Independent control is not on the level as in Germany.
- jacobush 8y agoOuch. Apparently €140 million of federal money is spent a year for the Asse clean-up, and they haven't even begun retrieving the 140k barrels yet?
