I want fusion reactors

It

But it’s such s political hot button

Thing is

I want nuclear. Fuck NIMBYs, yes in my backyard

Even hardcore anti-nuclear folks are coming around

Front yard too

So nuclear is becoming a partisan issue

We need stopgap reactors that can be built quickly with the latest safety designs built in until fusion can be deployed on a large scale

Fusion doesn’t exist tho

It does

But not on a >produces more energy than it took to start

Scale

Then it doesn’t exist

Or: it’s not power generation

Molten salt reactors are practically within arms reach

And they don't need uranium to burn, just enough to start the reactor

Molten salt is already a functional technology.

Doesn't mean it's commercially successful

The Russians were using lead-bismuth eutectic reactors in the Alfa class back in the Cold War

Which is where it needs to be

They put out shitloads of energy in a tiny package, and propelled the Alfa to ludicrous speeds

I mean shit, most Gen III plants already have the infrastructure for relatively simple Gen IV retrofits.

Also, I'd like to point out that molten salt reactors do require a constant amount of radioactive isotope to keep the "molten salt" part hot. It's just that the fluid acts as the moderator and poison all at once, so you can just dump some neutron activated thorium in there and let it go.

And since you can use thermoelectric conversion, you don't need a high pressure water core to generate steam

Then as the isotope decays, you pump it through a different loop until you get some pretty harmless waste by the end of you 4+ loops

@Sadmin

traitors

Even if it passes 99% of threepy fuckers are too bitchmade to even bother trying to fight it

we only need one dude with a carcano

But who's it gonna be?

not gonna lie I kind of want a carcano for memes

shit rifle

totally unrelated matter
