What do you think of mainstream opposition to nuclear energy amongst green political groups?
I’m of the opinion that it’s far from a durable solution but shouldn’t be phased out as long as we don’t have a clear and viable plan to implement other renewable energy sources. What’s your take?
I just spent a week in nuclear research facility seminars and I can’t think of anything you’ve missed haha good job.
Currently people are working towards “walk away” reactor systems that do not need human interaction and will shutdown themselves. Waste is being reused and recycled producing nuggets of non-recyclable waste that can then be safely stored. While safely stored usually means mixed into concrete and buried there’s really no chance of contamination unless someone blows it up and even then.
We really need MSRs (molten salt reactors) asap. Many of their designs are walk away safe.
