    Thorium molten salt thermal breeders 😏

      Booooooo! Wasted opportunity for real progress with renewables that actually work, are safe, are cheap and can be built in one tenth the time, without radioactive waste that will be around for longer than mankind has been in existence.

    Amazing science and engineering ,revolutionary for its time.Not even the Japanese could get their fast breeder reliably operational.

      I remember pipe faliture in Onagawa. But funny...Onagawa nuclear power plant HELD when Fukushima fail...

      There were advances made, chances lost, and plenty of high-level contamination of the surrounding environment! It's funny how this vital information was omitted from this, uh, "documentary".

    I’ve operated 5 thermal reactors but fast reactors scare me!

    We all know why the breeder reactors were built and it had nothing to do with efficiency.

      You can make weapon isotopes way easier and cheaper in graphite-moderated or water-moderated reactors. Fast breeders aren't good for that.

    Had the world continued with nuclear power stations the technology we have today would have been much better as every industry improves its technology as it grows to stay competitive. Fast breeders would have been much safer and cheaper as they can actually use for fuel the waste product they create. the climate change alarmists only have them selves to blame for this farse of global warming caused by man alone.

      Fast reactors isn't good for MANY reasons...the worst is: you must be carefull about reactor geometry because of recriticality. Mind fuel is expensive as well...

      STOP joking. New seed fuel costs around ~200 mln dollars EACH!
      Uranium is the WORST choice.
      Better is go thorium reactors!

    • @WadcaWymiaru
      @WadcaWymiaru 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thorium is FERTILE. It IS fuel...

    • @WadcaWymiaru
      @WadcaWymiaru 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thorium is MORE abundant that uranium by factor od 3-4 ...and two in space.
      And U-238 EASY breed troublesome transies :\
      About thorium:

      P.S. Two from three prototye sodium reactors GETS MELTDOWN!
      No one MRS melt !

      Look like i'm smarter than you, see this and stop making sins:
      en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breeder_reactor#Fuel_efficiency_and_types_of_nuclear_waste
      now count fission events. Thorium will end with ~one kg of trans waste.

    A fast neutron system cooled by sodium! its well seen this was sited as far away from London as possible, on a site with a good bed rock incase anything went wrong. As a scott im sick ov my country being used for English test and risk for all manner of dodgy doings.

      You do know that Russia has operated succesfully a sodium cooled reactors for almost 40 years? The BN-600 has been in commercial operation since 1980 and is the only large scale fast sodium cooler reactor to work reliably and safely. Its big brother the BN-800 began commercial operation last year.

      Molten sodium in some ways is safer than compressed water, assuming you got an inert atmosphere surrounding it and use 2 loops of sodium, one of the loops boils the water and isn't radioactive. A meltdown wouldn't lead to an explosion, just molten corium mixed with primary sodium coolant. The US actually had a meltdown of one of their early SFR experiments.

      Fast reactors can destroy nuclear waste so this is far to dodgy.

    • @WadcaWymiaru
      @WadcaWymiaru 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Using sodium is madness. Hot sodium REACT witn air and water...the reaction is violent. Molten salt with thorium is better call...
