Indeed, really you would need four tank cars (104 m³). EDIT: or, 1.73kg of natural uranium used in a standard PWR fuel cycle.. or, 31 grams of natural uranium

Indeed, really you would need four tank cars (104 m³).
EDIT: or, 1.73kg of natural uranium used in a standard PWR fuel cycle.. or, 31 grams of natural uranium utilized in a fast reactor.
Edit edit: forgot to convert for thermal efficiency again, make that 7kg of uranium for a PWR cycle, and 124 grams in a fast reactor.
- danbruc 3y agoTo clarify the 26 m³, that is the gasoline volume with the same energy content as the proposed ship. Tank truck capacities seem to be in the range from 10 m³ for small ones to semi-trailers with 40 m³.
