Gullible Reporting By New York Times On the Cost of Solar Electricity Versus Nuclear Electricity

ByRod Adams

…You don’t have bury used fuel, or watch it for thousands of years. You can reduce – use Generation III+ reactors, very fuel efficient – reuse – use spent fuel directly in a DUPIC cycle through a CANDU – and recycle – using advanced reprocessing systems – separating out the various waste components. The nasty stuff only has a short lifetime, probably could be reduced using accelerator driven systems powered by the extraordinary quantity of clean en…

Alvin Weinberg’s liquid fuel reactors

ByGuest Author

…n the single or double digit billions, we will need to find ways to really reuse and recycle our stuff. Cheap energy is an absolute necessity for that, but not alone. I can imagine a situation where cheap energy makes mining and discarding cheaper than using that same amount of energy for recycling. So we need well thought-out ideas about how to use energy so it will be part of a circular economy, not bring us farther way from it. Eino Good – The…

The Atomic Show #003 – Nuclear fuel recycling

ByRod Adams

Chris Puckett The idea of a nuclear based economy ie, reuse, recycle is a great one but everything involved with nukes becomes contaminated and so waste is a reality. until a viable way of disposing of existing waste is realized the public will continue work against the nuclear industry and as long as votes can be gained this way politicians will arise to stifle progress. The yucca mountain project is the best example, although carbon monoxide po…

Trump Budget Blueprint For DOE Will Revive Yucca Conflict. Does Little To Enable Nuclear

…round in an engineered canister forever, until we get our act together and reuse it. Engineer-Poet I’m digging through that page a bit at a time, and so far as I’ve gone it’s about using a LFTR as a thermal actinide burner with a separate thorium breeding blanket to make seed U-233; basically, getting rid of the long-lived LWR waste problem and simultaneously starting LFTRs. Nothing under said program would prevent the use of high-enrichment urani…

Virginia Uranium – Waiting Patiently to Create 325 Family Wage Jobs In Southside

…nuclear energy as it would show the public that it is possible to recycle/reuse the “waste”. DV82XL Production from mines in Kazakhstan, Canada, and Australia can ramp up faster than you seem to think and it will be a while before demand will outstrip the capacity of these countries to supply. Companies like Cameco and Rio Tinto have been sucking rocks since the Megaton for Megawatt program cratered the market and they to will be looking to recov…
