Does this invalidate everything you're saying, or what? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breeder_reactor https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breeder_reactor

what. Definitely what.

Have any of those actually bred more than they used and extracted it without catching fire or spewing radioactivity everywhere? If not it's just MOX, a slightly radioactive sodium fire, or a graphite pile with extra steps.

  > Have any of those actually bred yes? do the research. you're making assertions you haven't done research on, apparently.........

    Which one? Or are you just lying?
    - __pache__ 4y ago
      ??? which ones haven't? how do we know about the concept? have we ever tested it?
      - Schroedingersat 4y ago
        We know about tokamaks, have they generated net power? Which breeder ran on a full load of fuel made from fertile material inside it? By your logic we don't need to worry about storage because an AlS battery worked on a test bench and has a theoretical energy density of 1000kWh from $5 worth of materials.

    I gave up responding to them because they can't even use the right units...
    - Schroedingersat 4y ago
      The SI unit for power (whether average or instantaneous) is Joules per second. Not Joules per second hours per year.

        > A solar panel produces >100GJ per kg of sand with roughly 10x the silver investment of a NPP or ~50g/kW and traces of B and P. So are we talking about Power or are we talking about Energy?
        Schroedingersat 4y ago
        The first a unit of energy. As in total output from an input (building the panel). The second is a unit of power because the silver isn't used up (it's made very very hard to recycle in the NPP, but it's still technically possible after a few decades), the issue is how much is occupied by the equipment. If you can't understand the distinction between power and energy maybe we shouldn't consider your position on power and energy credible.
