You obviously don't need to blow up reactors to learn stuff Build, prototype and see how parts react (for example, corrosion) way before an emergency happens.

You obviously don't need to blow up reactors to learn stuff
Build, prototype and see how parts react (for example, corrosion) way before an emergency happens. Build a first version, then improve on a second version. Iterations will work better with smaller reactors than with bigger ones
And you do need some research into materials, but that's part of the process and evolution.

- moloch-hai 4y agoWe have seven+ decades of experience now. We are certain of two things. (1) Price of reactor n+1 is not less than n's; (2) every number produced by the nuke industry is a lie.
- panick21_ 4y agoWhat nonsense. We literally have great evidence that n+1 is n, this is well document and claiming otherwise is nonsense.
