So there’s enough cheap enough utanium to go around and no need for the industry to recycle spent fuel.
That is where the supply and demand equation is right now. When the supply was lower before the 90s, the equation favored recycling, and if we build more plants to drive up price, it will favor it again.
Sure, if it was free to build, it would be better than not having them (though worse than more efficient types of storage), assuming the cost of refining the steel breaks even.
There’s a reason fossil fuel companies fund hydrogen.
As for reprocessing, storage is in competition with newly mined fuel. As mining becomes more expensive or nuclear demand increases, there’s greater impetus to recycle more fuel. Conversely, if there’s fewer plants consuming the fuel or more mines opening, recycling projects die.
The more plants close, the less waste you’re gonna get reprocessed.
Russia already has 40,000 nukes, they’re not a proliferation risk.
There’s both, there was a plant in Savanah Ga that was supposed to process nuclear weapons into fuel, but after they got the weapons, they stalled on building the plant.
There were other plans to build reprocessing facilities for old fuel in the US (or breeder reactors that can use them as is) that all died off after the fall of the USSR opened up kazakstan, tanking the price of Uranium.
Why would you bury fuel that you’ve only harvested 1% of the energy from? If you’re not gonna build reprocessing facilities, sell it to France or Russia.
Well they own and are currently profiting from coal mines, they don’t own solar farm construction companies.
Would you evaluate the contents of the wikileaks leaks if they had released an equal amount of dirt on Trump?
We tried no zoning except parking minimums. The result was Houston.
Yup, people forget “Deporter In Chief” was Obama’s nickname.
Which is a shame, because if I could create tangible loss for Ubisoft by downloading their games, I would do nothing else until they went under.
Only problem is accepting dates in anything except YYYYMMDD, or unix time stamps if you need more precision.
Nope.
Oh, and I forgot to mention, Ronald Reagan’s admin was the reason NASA had to launch so quickly, he wanted to mention it during the State Of The Union Address.
We’re lucky that he didn’t give someone a medal for blowing up a passenger aircraft (again).
Back in the early 70s, NASA engineer tests on a part indicated that a joint with 2 O-rings was too wide and could expose the o-ring. Northrop Grumman and NASA’s project manager said it was fine, 2 o-rings meant one was redundent right? and the design made it into the solid rocket booster.
Then in 1977, a different test indicated 1 oring was letting gas during certain levels of mechanical stress. The engineers proposed a solution, which was ignored.
Then in 1980, they asked to test what would happen if 1 oring weren’t there and what would happen if the oring was cold. This was denied.
Then in 1981, a return booster was inspected and they found soot between the orings and one eroded, and the problem was added to the critical issues list. And ignored.
This happened again in 1984.
In 1985, they realized when the oring was cold at launch, the problem got way worse. Northrop Grumman finally changed the design to fix it.
But they had a bunch of the old, unsafe part laying around, and NASA didn’t want to miss deadlines, so in January of 1986, they launched a shuttle with the part that they knew was unsafe in cold conditions, coldest morning they’d ever launched and a middle-school class watched a live stream of their teacher exploding 10 miles in the air.
They weren’t wrong about jellied eels being the only protein the working class could afford, hence why they stopped eating that crap as soon as they could afford anything else.
Beans on toast with ketchup on the other hand is as indefensible as percolated coffee; there’s easier ways to use those same ingredients to make something that isn’t awful.
We can infer that at least some portion of it is from your comment quietly getting downvoted to hell while nobody bothers to refute it.
Pointing out that your on a sock puppet known for doing wrecker shit is not doxxing.
This is Dronerights alt trying to be a wrecker.
Why do you keep deleting and recreating the post?
This is DroneRights alt btw.
This is a droneRights alt btw.
They’re called steam traction engines.
