BC: TIME TO COMMERCIALIZE NEXT GEN NUKES .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. I find it maddening that we have these advanced taxpayer funded reactors ready to go yet we fail to deploy them .. The technology is just too disruptive to the existing fossil fuel primary energy producers and they are doing everything in their power to ensure that these reactors never see the light of day .. The manufacturers of nuclear fuel assemblies to the existing fission fleet have no incentive to support these reactors either as their fuel cycles are radically different .. Instead we get increasing carbon taxes and token investments in orders of magnitude less efficient wind and solar .. Some of the features Significantly more efficient fuel utilization vs existing fission fleet Operate at atmospheric pressures Cheaper to build Can burn "spent" fuel from existing fission fleet Passively safe No possible meltdown No possible steam explosion Orders of magnitude less long lived waste Abundant energy for at least the next 5000 years No "new" science required prior to commercialization Check out Kirk Sorensen's U-tube videos for the history of the MSBR Google Martingales ThorCon reactor ( MSR ) Google Russian BN-850 reactor ( IFR ) Google GE's PRISM reactor ( IFR )
