Nuclear power is dirty and dangerous.

@@mayabreathe you really think they spent billions w/o considering the regulatory requirements for actually running the plants? :)

Exactly. Nuclear power is dirty.

Yes it can be secured for that long quite easily. Nuclear plants barely produce any waste. All of the plants in the US combined produce about half a swimming pool of waste per year. Compared to other means of power production the amount of waste produced by nuclear plants is essentially negligible

There's barely any 'radio-active nuclear waste'. The idea of these green, glowing barrels that get dumped into the river is complete fiction. Nuclear reactors barely have ANY waste. Every single nuclear plant COMBINED in the entire United States only produces about half a swimming pool of waste over an entire year. So, compared to other means of power, nuclear plants produce so little waste as to be almost entirely negligible, and yet for some reason its the one thing people talk about when talking about nuclear power

Terrapower's reactor is designed to burn fuels made from nuclear waste. So it actually helps with solving the problem.

i was just about to ask

They know best. Billionaires on top

I support development of nuclear power. Everything Gates said about relying solely on renewables to address environmental issues, the current capacity of, and future demand for, power and the strategic importance of nuke power generation is accurate. Don’t be foolish by dismissing the idea because you don’t like the messenger. I’m not the biggest fan of Gates either. But I’m glad this is getting started.

Sure. Let’s conserve energy. Everyone start by using home routers with timers, no reason to run them all day. Shut them off unless you’re home. Same with Alexa and siri modules. Unplug the 5 smart Tv’s in homes. Smart thermostats. Lower the Speed limit on all interstates to 60 mph. Less rpm, less fuel of any kind used. Lower speed limits, safer roads, less accidents insurance cost go down. No bit coin mining, its pointless. Imaginary play money is worthless. We’ll start there and then find other savings.

@@mcm3a812 this will not work. it's been tried my entire 55 years and it can't work becasue the population is growing and industry is the largest power user. we actually will need much more electricity to get off oil.

@@erickanorris567 im aware of that. But conservation is easiest to start small, then work up to the larger violators. And my reply was to the guy that said lets conserve instead of using nuclear.

Ummm no

No worries, this planet has already been destroyed if you are one of the MEEK A New world is waiting for us in 4D

Battery storage with solar panels has now made building new nuclear power plants a foolish choice.

most university research programs in physics are desperately trying to figure out new ways to make solar collectors. Thematerials we currently use will run out and the DoD is already very concerned about which counties have critical minerals. take a look at what critical minerals are abundant in Ukraine.

I bet you can get answers to all of these questions. do some research and find out?

Kaiseru, here is a primer on your softball questions... There is no molten salt in the Natrium reactor, it is pure liquid sodium cooled, with solid metallic rather than ceramic oxide fuel, which is what enhances its negative temperature coefficient of reactivity i.e. it automatically throttles based on its temperature, shutting down automatically as the temp rises. Look into the EBR-II reactor which is what this one is based on and ran problem free for nearly 30 years from 65-94. In particular, check out the safety testing done in the mid 80s where they tested EBR-II at full power by shutting down all the safety systems and then turned off the cooling system. The reactor temp raised a bit and then dropped to idle with no human or mechanical actions taken just based on the physics of the core itself. Keep water away from the reactor building and you basically have a melt-down proof system just based on physics. No valves, backup generators or other moving parts required. Liquid sodium is completely compatible with stainless steels with no corrosion, another thing proved with EBR-II. Another advantage is that it runs near atmospheric pressure in the reactor vs. very high pressure in water cooled reactors. This is possible because the boiling point of liquid sodium is much higher than the temp the reactor runs at (the opposite of water cooled reactors). To keep moisture in the air away, they use an argon cover gas at the top of the reactor, similar to what welders do to prevent oxidation of their welds. The molten salt used in this facility is only for heat storage, similar to concentrated solar, a proven technology. It is not involved directly in the reactor, contains no fuel and is not radioactive. Natrium is what is called an SFR (Sodium Fast Reactor). You may be thinking about MSRs (Molten Salt Reactor) which is a totally different design where the fuel is dissolved into molten salts which reside in the reactor itself. This isn't that type. In MSRs, corrosion is something that needs to be addressed, although interestingly it isn't the pure salt itself that is the main source of corrosion, it is the fission products dissolved in it that cause most of the problem. In Natrium, the heat is transferred from the primary sodium in the reactor pool into a secondary (non radioactive) sodium loop which takes it out of the reactor. This secondary sodium then transfers the heat to the molten salt which is stored in insulated tanks well away from the reactor itself. The steam generator generates steam from the heat stored in the molten salt, not the sodium, so there is significant separation between the sodium and the water as well as the ability to load follow the grid. Hope that helps.

@@richardbaird1452 Nice explanation--it was completely missing from this interview other than a brief explanation of the construction costs (Gates seemed to imply that the plant will operate at a loss, but if they make 100 of them they'll make money). It's neat that they found a way to follow demand by storing the heat energy in sodium until the demand is needed. This solves the problem of xenon poisoning that you get from turning the reactor up and down quickly.

@@richardbaird1452 ty! And I was thinking of MSR's. I see the pros now. I asked chatGPT for the cost & it says we should expect from about seven cents to 12 cents per kwh.

His friend Jeffrey is gone, he needs something to do to scout the ladies.

Fukushima had back up generators on the ground level for cooling pumps. These dont have the cooling water pumps and not built in tidal zones. So two primary faults eliminated. But do tell, how are you powering your devices more safely now? 26k Non smokers die of lung cancer in the US each year...its the fossil fuels.

@@jr.6199 So, if they do not have pumps, then how is the heat transfer fluid circulated? Because every reactor has heat transfer fluid: water, molten sodium, a gas, etc. which needs to move. Moreover, the spent fuel is also stored in a water pool just like every other reactor and that pool needs pumps to remove heat and prevent the fuel from becoming uncovered and melting down. I don't know if you are trying to imply CO2 causes cancer? It is not a carcinogen. A lot of people get lung cancer without exposure or they get lung cancer from things like radon in the home or asbestos at their jobs. If you believe global warming is an existential threat and must be solved asap, then maybe nuclear is the best option for you, but I would rather use another solution because the type of disasters than can cause reactors to melt down are imminent - they will definitely happen at some point and nuclear is extremely expensive at least in the west - perhaps it is a better option in China.

@@rickmartin9420 This is traveling wave reactor , it uses liquid sodium to store and transfer energy, liquid sodium has a boiling point of 880C. It's nearly impossible for nuclear meltdown to happen in this kind of reactor, and spent fuel can be recycled after melt refining, and this kind of reactor can burn the spent fuel from light water reactors.

@@brucel7430 "Nearly impossible" and yet liquid sodium reactors have in fact melted down and since the underlying technology is basically as old as the nuclear age, I'm guessing there are a number of other problems with sodium reactors that have prevented their widespread use all these decades, not the least of which is the incompatibility of the coolant with water.

@@rickmartin9420 Melted down when it was in the late 50s, that wasn't a traveling wave reactor design, and technology has advanced a lot since then, especially in material science field. Yes, liquid sodium could be dangerous, but it will not in contact with water at all.

Nuclear energy is clean. No Co2. Look up what clean refers to. Every known energy source in existence produces waste/bi-product. What’s important is the process for disposal/safe storage being closely followed and with proper government overview. Nuclear energy waste (Primarily radioactive material with potentially long half-life) and how it was dealt with over the last 100+ years was done extremely poorly. We now have the necessary technology and know-how to deal with the waste safely. This is far more efficient than traditional power, and when done correctly, perfectly safe.

USS Nimitz. Nuclear since day one. Safe and efficient. Fear is a useless emotion.
