I can reply to you with only one thing: please, learn more about modern reactor designs and their safety systems, don't embarrass yourself. Also learn why the Chernobyl event was so nasty and why its impact is significantly bigger comp

How so? Same as with botox what matters is concentration. And public fear of radiation is significantly overblown compared to what is logically warranted. We can see this induced fear at work in Fukushima, where they can't dump into oc

Russia already has more than enough nukes and has agreed to limit its stockpiles together with the US (this agreement includes mutual monitoring of warheads). None of those countries need the "burner" reactors or imported spent fu

The point is: they can rely on their neighbors as a kind of safety net for times when renewables output is not sufficient. And the Norway hydro-storage potential also plays a huge role here, it allows Germany to have less domestic storage a

Don't forget that Germany is part of the same grid or have HVDC links with other European countries such as France (70% nuclear power), Norway (near 100% hydro, not only generation but also storage), and Poland (72% coal), so you you s

Well, France is a bit different in this regard, they indeed have a great expertise in fuel recycling, but the parent comment was talking about fast-neutron reactors such as BN [0] and BREST [1]. Reactors like this not only can "breed&q

Have you forgot about Russia? Also China makes a great progress in this field as well (they diversify and build both foreign and domestic designs).

It's quite disingenuous to project Chernobyl and Fukushima to modern reactors. When you hear about them, always remember that they were designed in 60s and represent the second generation of nuclear reactors. The nuclear technology cam

I do not know much about this whole story, but does it mean that Cloudflare has helped to perform those hacks? Since Firefox now uses it by default for its DoH, I think it warrants some serious questions about the choice.

Tell it to Rosatom, which builts its VVERs in under 10 years from greenfield to full industrial operation. The problem with Olkiluoto is not about nuclear power per se, but about organizations, loss of competence and about implementing new

Leaking the secondary key will allow an attacker to impersonate user at any time and to continuously retrieve the encrypted vault. As I've said, it may not be important for a password storage, but in more sophisticated applications con

The issue is that if an attacker can eavesdrop on a compromised authentication server, then it can record user's master-key and thus he will be able to impersonate user without issues until the password gets changed (i.e. the derived m

The model of hashing user plaintext passwords on server-side is itself a deeply flawed one. User password and master keys derived out of it should NEVER leave user-controlled computer. For authentication password-authenticated key agreement
