  • Coming from a place that sees -40c to +40c almost every year, I can confirm this is not clickbait

    Shit I worked with a guy from Oklahoma and mid August we were working near Toronto (Ontario) and he couldn't take the heat and it was only 30 without the humidity.

    That shit ain't no joke

  • Then why did you mention fresh drinking water if MSR doesn't use it? Oh wait, it can desalinate water with MSR

    Yeah Ii want good QA in a reactor, NASA / SpaceX use SLS to aide in manufacturing rockets, if it can handle those pressures I'm sure a 1 atmosphere of pressure in a MSR won't be much if a challenge for SLS printed parts.

    Nothing I have stated is incoherent its just a shitty defense for you not being able to defend your position.

    I'm sure you are a "productive member of society" enjoy your day

  • And you think current reactor designs aren't hard? Seriously? Wow OK end if story for you.

    Thankfully casting this stuff is fairly easy. Has this stuff been tested in a SLS printer which would make your machining is hard point absolutely moot?

    Tell me you have 0 clue about MSR by telling me they use water. Hilarious man. Try a CO2 heat exchange for the 500c temps the reactor runs at. The only water needed for a MSR is the secondary heat exchange between CO2 and water using a closed loop system.

    Find any information bad on the much safer CANDU reactors, MSR are magnitudes of order safer due to not having 900+ psi water acting as a coolant

    The limited supply of CANDU is just due to stupid politics/bureaucracy, Ontario has been trying to build a new reactor for the past decade and was nearly canceled under our moronic Liberal leadership at one point

    Once again the guy who literally invented both types of reactors favored the MSR design. I'll take his opinion over yours as he actually worked with the shit leadingntonthe creation of Hastaloy N. Not C233 or w/e you linked.

    We have the technology to deal with every problem you have with the MSR.

    If gamma ray make it so hard to do anything why did we created cobalt-60?

    And to put a cherry on top

  • Sorry to tell you your fist point has been known for over 100 years and is how we have been electrifying the planet. Good thing you're catching up though!

    Second point... Same thing countries have been doing this with water for decades, now were "discovering worse ways" to do the same thing

    Ontario Canada has been making 80% of our electricity from our nuclear plants for the past 50 years with 0 deaths and less contamination from radiation and other particulate matter than burning shit to produce electricity. And on top of that we had nuclear plants for making medical isotopes used in all kinds of medical procedures which can not be made any other ways.

    Thorium reactors only put out trans uranics that only last 300 years rather than 15,000 and can also desalinate water or capture CO2 from the atmosphere?

    Oh and it can use the waste from other nuclear plants that last for 15,000 years to produce electricity and make them degrade in 300 years.

    We can make all those type of transport better with clean electricity made in a Molten Salt Reactor

    Sure I'll Open my mind to better ways to make electricty, this includes nuclear

    Here learn something

  • China currently is off of what designs are left that were made at Oak Ridge in the 60's. They are doing the work that should have been completed in the 1970's at Oak Ridge.

    Energy independence free from petroleum that could help desalinate water and capture CO2 from the atmosphere mean anything to you?

    How about using nuclear waste from light / heavy water reactors to make more energy? Or making isotope that can better kill cancer without harming the rest of your body?

    Yes it may be hard but it was proven to be feasible whether you like it or not by people much smart then you or I and is leaps and bounds easier than fusion hence the reason for them building one in the 1960's.

  • If MSR are not feseable then why did the creator of both want MSR to be built instead of light water?

    It is entirely able to be built and one albeit not a full on breeder reactor was built and ran for 15000 hours.

    Just saying it won't work doesn't make it so.

    When the world starts buying these from China I'll make sure to say I fucking told ya so

  • In the 1950/60's which country was working on MSR? China is using the plans from Oakridge to build their current MSR.
    America was the only country to do any work on one. The Atomic Energy Commission cut funding and this is why people think MSR are a failure
