Redesigning reduces, or can reduce, waste, cost, and risk.
- qeternity 4y agoYeah I’m very confused. Every single thing mentioned can be improved through better designs.
- ncmncm 4y agoNot noticeably. All those things, were they amenable to improvement, could have been done decades past. They were not done, or not enough. Spending more on nukes now is throwing good money after bad, the classic sunk-cost delusion.
- BuyMyBitcoins 4y agoThose improvements have been done, decades ago and now. They’re called Generation III / III+ and Generation IV reactors. How are such improvements not enough? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generation_III_reactor https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generation_III_reactor
- ncmncm 4y agoYet, not built. For reasons.
- BuyMyBitcoins 4y ago>”Yet, not built. For reasons.” You clearly didn’t read the list of constructed and operating Gen III / III+ reactors on the page I linked. Not sure why you’re ignoring them. For reasons?
- ncmncm 4y agoFrom the article: "relatively few third generation reactors have been built" and "Gen IV reactors ... are concepts for which no concrete prognoses for realization exist".
- BuyMyBitcoins 4y agoYou had said “not built” and now you’re weaseling out of it. Both the constructed Gen III and yet to be built Gen IV reactors represent design improvements you claimed never materialized in an earlier post.
