- Schroedingersat 4y agoFailing to understand the distinction between power and energy doesn't make you seem very credible. And neither does saying failing to understand what a breeder is. You need fissile material to start a reactor of any kind. Working breeders with a real closed fuel cycle don't exist but if we pretend they do it's about 5 tonnes per GW. You can't start breeding until they're built and the breeding ratio of proposed designs takes on the order of a decade to fuel another reactor. How many billions of tonnes of ore do you need to extract the uranium from per year to meet net zero installed power roadmaps? How do you get to 2TW by 2030 to come close to the scale of the renewable roadmap?

- Schroedingersat 4y agoHow much fissile material do you need to meet net zero by 2050 with all nuclear?
