Nuclear power has political meltdowns

Nuclear power has political meltdownsNo surprises.It was a government run entity. Of course it was overrunning costs. That's what government entities do.Nuclear waste is way less toxic than your current nemesis: coal ash heaps. It's just that people have been successfully indoctrinated to think that nuclear radiation is the most...

Sustainable nuclear reactors

Sustainable nuclear reactorsThis isn't newsThese things have been around for decades - I did some work on them at GE in the early 90's, and even then it was a really old technology. Sure, it's a perfectly fine idea technically, but breeders make lots of plutonium, so they're an...

Sustainable nuclear reactors

Dutch researchers at the Delft University of Technology are working on Generation IV nuclear reactor designs. These future Gas Cooled Fast Reactors GFR should produce more new fissile materials than the ones consumed by the reactors. They will use helium as coolant at high temperature and should bring us sustainable...
