wtf leaded gasoline is back too? (there are very few other uses for alkyllead compounds and it would be hard to make it accidentally)
no, all people here are 30-40 years old communist programmers from california
These were not supposed to be breeders, but this is only due to agreements that are ignored ny now. Technical capability is there
This sounds like that material would be more useful in high performance radars, not as flash memory
time travel (backwards) would break physics as we know it, what are you talking about lol
These are fast reactors and operate on different principles. The coolant there is sodium and while hard to design and run, it's doable. French had similar reactor but only one and it was shut down. Nice thing about fast reactors is that these can burn even-numbered isotopes of plutonium, useless in water moderated reactor, and give fresh mostly 239Pu plutonium of good quality. weapons grade even, and IAEA doesn't like it. But who cares since nonproliferation is dead anyway?
yeah either that or sometimes that one biologist illegally gene-editing embryos shows up
i will call MSRs (not thorium power, this is fine) toys until a single 100MWe+ unit gets built up. wanna bet that it won't happen in 20 years?
they haven't demonstrated anything yet, but maybe they will develop something. perhaps. maybe. it's all uncertain at this point and technology for it doesn't exist yet.
high voltage transmission lines are a thing, look up where lignite or hydro power plants are situated relative to where people live. this is a solved problem
These are mostly combustion byproducts btw. Mercury emissions come from coal fired powerplants, PCBs are an old and long discontinued type of nonflammable coolant, HCB also isn't even manufactured probably
