Never forget the future that was taken from us.
It’ll come back eventually unless fusion takes over. The power density promises are simply too attractive.
The mining and processing of the “fuel” is not. The cost of the plants and the risks neither. That’s why nuclear is slowly losing to regenerative.
Btw, from the World Nuclear Industry Status Report 2024 > Key Insights:
Russia is also playing a key role in the supply of fuel services, involving uranium mining, conversion, and fuel assembly manufacturing for Soviet-designed VVER pressurized water reactors, of which there are 19 in the E.U. and 15 in Ukraine. International sanctions have had little effect on the business. On the contrary, the share of Russian supply of natural uranium, conversion, and enrichment services to the E.U. all increased between pre-war year 2021 and 2023; VVER fuel imports doubled.
And you can see all of my points confirmed in that report.
Of course, mother!
Thank you Junior. Don’t forget to wear you shoes when you go play in the asbestos pit at school. I put two cigarettes in your lunchbox you can have one at lunch if your teacher says its okay and one on the way to home after your shift at the radium watch painting factory.
Thank you Green Peace /s
Bunch of short sighted uninformed hippies
A lot of terrible things have been done by good people with good intentions who had no idea what the fuck they were talking about.
Do you want to be Malons? This is how you become Malons. /s
What show is that?

imagines a nuclear future
also imagines that each home needs to supply its own atomic wafers
That way you would create more trash.
They lived making lots of “trash” bcs they loved discarding all the trash.
Consumers gotta consume
She’s right there. This is literally a power play to force her kid to do a pointless task.
“pick up that can”
Of course, mother!
Too 👏 cheap 👏 to 👏 meter
Given the up-front cost of any kind of reactor, I don’t think the concept of a usage-based electric bill goes away as long as it’s corporations competing for customers. Maybe eventually it would be like ISPs where it’s a flat fee depending on the size of your connection. I guess it could be totally unmetered then.
Like so many things, it gets a lot simpler if it’s the government supplying the service.
Clean! Safe!! Too cheap to meter!!!
/pffft
I passed out from the flood of Fallout references that just rushed into my brain.
“Timmy you left the aluminum foil on the atomic wafer!!”
“By golly Tim you shattered space time and opened a black hole!”
“My apologies mother and father, I have been absent of clear cognition.”
“Mother, why do all my teeth feel itchy?”
“It’s because you haven’t been smoking enough. Here, smoke these two before dinner.”
Spit out the wafer.
The Children of the Atom deem you a HERETIC! Embrace the holy atom!
I’m so out of my depth in this thread. Is this a real side effect of radiation?
I can’t find it now, but I’d swear to having read an anecdote from someone working with radiation who reported tingling teeth during exposure.
It definitely does a lot of nasty things to the body.
Wait a sec, I was told American’s don’t use the metric system…
The imperial system doesn’t have any electromagnetism units that I’m aware of, so they borrow from SI.
The Watt predates the SI itself. SI borrows the Watt much as it dues with other units.
We can use horsepower hours if you’d like. Or BTU
I’m all for paying my electric bill in horsepower/hours. That feels very American. How many V8s is my house?
I’m gonna need you to repent and convert to metric
🦅
I’d be horsepower * hour, since horsepower is a unit, of, well, power, and [Energy] = [Power]*[Time]
But might as well go for an obscure time unit as well at that point. Horsepower Sennights, baby
Hmm but couldn’t we then also go even further and assume an idealized muscle car with an effective transmission to its wheels of 1:1 running at its optimal torque vs speed point and thus with a given speed of its wheels rotation for a given time?
Aka convert energy into miles (traveled) or something (with the choice of motor and wheel diameter and everything else standardized ofc.)?
so you’re saying we should use truck miles?
We also don’t use apostrophes for plural words.
Plenty of us do, unfortunately!
Speak for yourselv’es
Do you know which comics is it?
You were lied to. We use a mix of both, just like the UK.
