US Oil Market Crashes

[onlinebiker]

A type of reactor that runs a "dry pile" using salts as coolant. Neat idea - but the materials-  like Hasteloy- needed to withstand the combinationa of salt corrosion and neutrino enbrittlement - are expensive and a motherfucker to machine.. (I have made parts out of it... .)

Plus - added bonus - all the shit that needs frequent replacing is radioactively hot for centuries. It's a 50 year old idea that never went anywhere because of cost.

Ask a nuke about the particulars... I'm just a schmuck who got a lecture about it...

As opposed to the current nuclear stockpile which will be radioactively hot for how long?  Remind me how many millions of years?

And for a 50 year old idea that never went anywhere, isn't it odd that that 11 countries are actively working on MSR designs right now?

Sorry.. I have little sympathy for the nuke future rapists... Those greedhead shits that are willing to leave behind mountains of radioactive garbage for somebody else later on to figure out.


....

I live downwind from Palisades Nuclear plant..... Back when they were building the motherfucker - they sucked everybody in with the promise of cheap electric. "It will be so cheap you won't need an electric meter on your house". They actually said that.

My electric bill last month was not "almost free"

Then to prevent competition - they bought up several of the hydroelectric dams in the area and dynamited them.

Now it's 50 years later and the plant is due to shut down in 2 years. AND ALL THE NUCLEAR WASTE IS STILL ON SITE - WAITING TO CONTAMINATE LAKE MICHIGAN. With no plans to move it.... It will eventually contaminate the lake. There's no profit margin in dealing with radioactve garbage.

Fuck nuclear power and any cunt who is fool enough or just greedy enough to endorse it.
