There's nothing inherently unsafe about small nuclear reactors. We've been using them safely since the 50s. You can look it up, you have the entire history of the world at your fingertips. Here's a fun fact: the bloke that was the first commander of a nuclear powered submarine (1954!) went on to be the first commander of a nuclear powered boat. And he got to live till 90+ yo. The tech is safe. The fear-mongering people are boring. It's literally the reason we can't have cool shit.
- zwnow 1y agoWhats ur solution to nuclear waste?
- gazpacho 1y agoWhat’s your problem with nuclear waste? And what’s your solution to the waste produced by solar/wind?
- pfdietz 1y agoThe waste produced by solar/wind is no different that waste produced by general economic activity. The US produces about 600 million tons of construction and demolition waste each year; solar/wind waste will be small fraction of this. So, the solar/wind waste bugbear is a red herring, since dealing with it involves solving a problem that would have to be solved in a nuclear-powered economy also. The opposite is not true of nuclear waste: there is no high activity radioactive waste stream in a non-nuclear economy.
