I think you missed everything in my previous post. All new designs passively cool. You can have safe (comparative to coal and gas) nuclear power.
- Retric 14y agoI should have been more clear, a lot of designs passively cool the reactor / primary loop, but they don't have long term 100% passive cooling on the secondary loop. Though a counter example would be welcome.
- mjvandenbergh 14y agoNo, you're right. They have a water pool that cools the secondary loop. That will need refilling after a few days, 72 hours for the ESBWR iirc.
