clue

sodium-cooled fast reactor

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuji_Molten_Salt_Reactor there is also this

Nice

Also "millions of people can die"

what reactor does that

i encourage you to learn about nuclear radiation

The russian one is going to be for research. Still very cool, but won’t significantly reduce dependence on fossil fuels

Chernobyl had an initial death count of 100

there was also a massive evacuation in time

look, its a fact that nuclear radiation kills people and spreads everywhere and is very hard to clean up

And kyshtym

10,000 is the highest estimate

Towns weren't evacuated until 2 weeks later

You act as if reactors have no safety precautions and that they're all terrible with no modifications over time

i shouldnt be surprised that this is being debated

It’s an early obsolete reactor + intentionally disabled safety systems + error by the safety supervisor

MSRs have intrinsic failsafes and are idiotproof

Straight fax

its just very ironic that the dirtiest and most dangerous form of energy is being advocated above other energy sources that are considered dirty

Coal plants? Yeah

a coal plant accident is nothing at all compared to nuclear

and say what you wish, accidents do happen and they will

Coal and oil cause far more damage

not so far, like i said i encourage you to research fukushima and the damage it has done to the environment

Look into the intrinsic safety features of MSRs

I know Fukushima was bad and will have lasting environmental effects

the fukushima disaster was considered an extinction level event for all species on the planet, coal and oil got nothing on that

Wut

What

i encourage you to reasearch it more

Coal and oil are actually causing far more damage every day than nuclear ever will

By emissions alone

^

Nukes cause big damage

those are assertions without science to back them js

But in order to beat coal and oil

We would need to fire off five nukes

Nuclear meltdowns are nothing like nukes
