reactors and have made incredible progress in a short period of time that make it seem possible, like we could actually get there
reactors on the same site that successfully kept running through the tsunami, totally successfully, the tsunami, totally successfully, and were only later shut down for more political reasons.
reactors and the people behind it made us you know really interested and inspired and I think now we actually changed our minds and that was a really big deal I
reactors and there's batchers so most of us probably fall into um the reactors category so that's when you're kind of
reactors .
reactors .
reactors instead of, for instance, coal plants, because, if you want to do something about global warming, basically what-- the whole rest of the world doesn't matter unless we
reactors and put to work.
reactors and plunging us into the dark, that we can use to shut down copying.
fission reactors are unsafe, they're dangerous.
Nuclear reactors also produce plutonium.
those reactors .
gen reactors can be built do they have to be built next to waste sites from former
these reactors were designed in kind of the 1950's and 40s they had very large margins in there and then after they've kind of sharpen the pencil with a lot of
selling reactors than they are in the proliferation issue.
Because most nuclear reactors require that we enrich uranium, in that uranium-235, the kind that can undergo fission easily.
We have two reactors under construction in North America, two in South America, and a handful in Western Europe.
advanced nuclear reactors that would be safer, that might themselves quote, "burn up" nuclear waste.
Small modular reactors are probably a little more promising.
These are small reactors that typically, oh, are in the range of 60 to maybe as much as 300 million watts of power, mostly on the smaller side.
And these reactors are just like, not a lot of shielding, but oh no.
generation of nuclear reactors fitting into that picture so I mean just to kind of reiterate what you said you know the amount of waste itself is actually
building more reactors we could learn from the experience and potentially lower the cost of this technology great so we have
You'd need nuclear reactors , because you need to smelt anorthite.
for their reactors .
III-plus reactors to help them get in that project.
Will these new reactors in Georgia and South Carolina be built on at least reasonably close to cost and schedule?
life cycle reactors that could actually burn some of the nuclear wastes that are very problematic.
What about liquid fuel reactors instead of solid fuel reactors ?
of these molten salt reactors based on the cost for a bunch of experimental reactors projected out to analysis.
Liquid-fueled thorium reactors are carbon free.
liquid-fueled thorium reactors that can be mass produced in a factory, that would be about 2000 250 megawatt reactors .
Small modular reactors can be built in 250 megawatt sizes and assembled into larger plants.
We have 104 reactors in this country.
The hot reactors could, can be used directly for generating hydrogen and for desalinating water for fresh water.
and nuclear reactors but they are selling the, the, the uranium fuel cycle, but that is like that-- stewart Brand: There's probably many here who saw it; the Wired article several months
number of nuclear reactors in the world you're talking about not five or six countries that know how to make this
are the other part around nuclear reactors and fission reactors that are concerning for me.
to be used in their reactors .
the uranium for either nuclear reactors or bombgrade uranium.
The world has about 450 operating nuclear reactors , and their average age is about 40 years.
If you look at what reactors are under construction today in the world in 2020, there are about 40 under construction in Asia.
Most of them are pressurized water reactors , which are descendants of the submarine propulsion reactors developed in the 1950s.
You have to have nuclear reactors .
advanced they mean non light water reactors so in other words all the existing commercial reactors the United States today use you know huge amounts
So you have to have nuclear reactors .
Not as much as with current reactors , but it's there.
a lot of test nuclear reactors that could test some of the concepts like you were describing, the thorium reactor.
you build up within the reactors , et cetera.
They shut down the main reactors .
