I know you aren’t serious, but any excuse I get to post videos from these guys I’m taking it
I know a guy who is investing fairly heavily in companies that are close to making small micro nuclear reactors. They are specifically targeted for high draw industrial applications or even powering small towns. He talks like it’s going to be the next AI stock market darling. I’m not convinced. I could see the government tying it all up in regulation to the point it’s no longer feasible. I do agree that it’s a good idea and something that we as a nation should be pursuing.
From what I've read, the biggest problem with the temp turbines is they are sitting in the open. They haven't built sound barriers yet using earth embankments. The real turbines should be enclosed like any normal power plant when finished.
Issue is way overblown. It's easily stored on site. We've been doing it for 60 years with no problems. And there's just not much of it. A nuclear plant produces about 20 tons of waste per year. Compare to a coal plant that produces about 300 tons of waste per year.
It's less of an issue than the pollution from coal plants. Easily contained and has been for over 60 years with no issues at all. Compared to coal plants that kill 20,000 people per year.
The correct answer involved Bruce Banner. Come on, man
If we build them to Soviet specs you should be terrified....
come to think of it, colored toilet paper just kind of disappeared...and took the fuzzy toilet seats with it
Then you should be good because their aren’t many new coal plants on the drawing board.
Oklo is building small nuclear plants for many of the data center.
