Maybe the capacitors could store enough energy to start braking, and then the braking energy could recharge the capacitors.

High temperature reactors can react to spikes, by storing heat in a molten salt before driving the turbines.

Traditional reactors can be air cooled, it just costs more. For high temperature reactors (e.g. helium or molten salt), air cooling is trivial.

You probably need to investigate further. It's unclear why disabling IPv6 would have any effect on an IPv4-only website.

I think you're confusing "unpopular" with "technically impossible".

goog-prefixes.txt only contains IPv4 addresses, so if you have IPv6, it'll miss most of the traffic.

When building new nuclear plants, a good question to ask is "can you shut it down passively, without adding water?" I'd much rather live near a nuclear plant with an 'off' button that works.

PEBAX is not obviously bad, but I don't know whether it's good.

by p1mrx 4y ago
There are ways to design a nuclear plant that reduce the probability of shit happening by orders of magnitude. We should focus on building plants that can shut down using only passive systems with no human action.

It is much more difficult to build a dam than a water-filled hole.

That would be progress, but I don't think we'll get there until the new reactors have a proven operational safety record, and enough are built to retire the old reactors.

https://www.deepisolation.com/ looks like a reasonable solution, assuming we don't use the waste as fuel. Why would future generations have to worry about something buried deep underground? Just don't drill there.
