Again, it’s not a technological problem. It’s the West of being unable to finish large projects on time. China and Russia are building new reactors faster and faster because in these countries nuclear never had a strong political opposition

Two EPRs have been running in China since 2018 in Taishan. It’s not a design problem, it’s a bureaucratic problem.

It’s not a fundamental problem with nuclear power as both China and Russia build new reactors safe and economically. The West just forgot how to build large projects.

Renewables don’t help with climate change. France: 50 Grams CO2 per kWh Germany: 400 Grams CO2 per kWh Germany invested 500 billion Euros for its renewable program the past 20 years.

I believe it when I see it. It’s a project that exists on paper, not in reality.

Nuclear isn’t obsolete technology. China, Russia, India etc are building all new plants. One NPP replaces millions of solar panels with a 90% capacity factor while solar has a 10-20% capacity factor. How is that “obsolete”?

Renewables _always_ require a fossile backup. You are _not_ fixing the climate with just renewables. Look at electricitymap.org and compare the emissions of Germany (50% renewables) with France (70% nuclear). Germany is 7 times dirtier in i

Renewables don’t help with climate change. Germany has 50% renewables in its electricity mix and they’re one of the dirtiest producers of electricity. France emits only 1/7 of the emissions of Germany in its electricity sector. Reducin

It’s solid waste. It just sits there and does nothing unless you get too close.

Even without considering the amount of energy produced, it’s nothing. The US has accumulated 83.000 tons in decades. Compare that to the billions of tons CO2 that coal plants blow into the atmosphere.

There are reactor types like the Integral Fast Reactor that will safely shut itself down even if the cooling systems fail. In fact, the engineers at Argonne deliberately tried to overheat the reactor by shutting off its pumps and they faile

You normally get a rebuilt engine as a replacement, not a new one. So, it’s normally not that expensive.

Exactly. The barcode is added in the sorting facility, not at the post office and not by the sender.

The barcode is printed on the postcard in the sorting facilities after the recipient’s address has been read. If the mail got lost on its way to the sorting facility, it was probably never stamped and therefore just had to be thrown into a

Doesn't exist. If we had a 1% failure rate, we'd have a nuclear catastrophe every year since we have over 400 active reactors world-wide.

Nuclear waste is actually the best kind of waste because of its very high density and the fact that it's solid. The density is so high that the US has accumulated just 83,000 tons over several decades operating nuclear power plants: &g
