A nuclear reactor exploding is 1 big event

Burning coal isn’t that ‘scary’

Altho inhaling the polluted air is very bad

its effects are more covert

Yes

definitely

coal is terrible

There have been progresses in the construction of a cold fission nuclear plant

Which does not produce as much heat

Therefore an explosion can not happen

I don’t know the exact science

But it is a good solution if we can optimize it

that sounds like the best option so far

Yea but in the current state it produces very little energy compared to normal nuclear plants

So it has to be researched further

is it ITER?

ITER?

thats what comes up when i google cold fission nuclear plant construction

gotta do some research

No I think thats an institute for normal fission

Trying to improve the safety of the normal process

Which is much safer compared to the RBKM reactors

ah

then where has there been progression w the cold fission nuclear plant?

Not sure

But NASA is looking into it

And some university’s

The upside is that cold fusion when optimized could even be used in cars and computers

Because of almost no temperature increase

ah i found something on a kilopower project?

Altho there is kind of a fight in the scientific community

Not all scientists believe it’s a thing

which is a fission nuclear power system thats possibly preparing for a future flight demonstration

Whaa

Do you have a link?

apparently they had an experiment in 2018 and it went successfully

https://www.nasa.gov/directorates/spacetech/kilopower

Well such systems are crucial to having a base on the moon or mars

"This was the first space reactor test completed for fission power systems in
over 50 years and marked a turning point in NASA’s nuclear program."

Great
