If nuclear was as safe as technological DAC is solved we'd all be dead already from radiation ten times over.
- Beltiras 7y agoI'm not talking about currently running solid-fuel reactors that burn only 0.3% of their fuel. I'm talking about 4th gen liquid fuel reactors that manage to burn 99.7% of their fuels (bonus: can burn the waste fuels old reactors leave behind), are walk-away safe and the wastes they do leave have a half-life of hundreds of years instead of millions. DAC that you can feed power into and that way stream more CO2 into sequestration solutions is mostly a solved issue at scale [1]. Sequestration is also a solved issue [2].
