we need the Fusion power plants like they have in Sim City 3000

Waste disposal for fission reactors actually got a lot more efficient and safe with the development of breeder reactors.

Fusion will create even less waste.

I am pro-nuclear.

All for it - I've actually had this conversation a few times to relatively deep degrees with Myra's brother (who is a nuclear engineer).

The impact on the environment, specifically when it comes to greenhouse gas emissions, is minuscule compared to that of coal or other fossil fuels. It's also genuinely renewable, meaning our energy concerns regarding fossil fuels can be drastically reduced by the creation of more nuclear plants, and it is also incredibly safe (contrary to what a lot of the public believes).

The biggest concern is waste storage, however, it seems most people who want to bang that drum fail to realize how sound a job the government does of regulating nuclear waste, and also seem to give up on the prospect that we will ever find any practical application for what we now know as "nuclear waste."

Simply put, nuclear power is the one issue I think the "green" folks and the economists can agree on. Financially and environmentally responsible power.

I fucking want to slap EVERYONE that says that. It just goes to show how fucking stupid people are.

Ahh interesting. I was unaware of this type. Sounds really good!

I'm down as long as some n00b doesn't release it all over MAH YARD

My final work for graduation was about nuclear plants and their effects on ecology.
So, simply put, I'm all for it because there are far more pros than cons.
With proper education of people who maintain power plants and proper disposal of nuclear waste, there should be no problems.
Impact of nuclear plants on ecology is negliable compared to enormous ammounts of energy they give.
Also, taken into account that we're quickly running out of fossil fuels that run thermal power stations, I think everything has been said.

I have wanted to talk to some sort of Nuclear scientist as the whole nuclear thing is very intriguing to me.

The impact on the environment is almost non-existent in the emissions sense. It doesn't really emit anything that is toxic in any high levels unless there is a problem with the design.

While waste storage is highly regulated, it is still a problem. I see what you mean that it is something that we will not have a solution for in the near future, but do you think that they will find one?

Do you mind if I were allowed to read your paper?

Oh and for those that don't know, 3 of the 4 reactors at Chernobyl, are active and in use today.

Man, why do interesting threads have to pop up right when I have to bail.

To be brief, I think I was a bit unclear - I do indeed think they'll find something to do with the waste, at least a better way to manage it than they have currently. My only hope is that they can find a practical application for it (i.e. the waste is used for something else).

Look forward to seeing where this thread goes over the afternoon.

DAMN YOU! lol

Yeah I have the same view. I really hope that they will find a practical yet incredible use for the waste.

Also for the rest of us, what about the "not in my backyard" camp? I know everyone says this, but do you think people are really ready to have a massive nuclear reactor in the middle of a desolate place like Kansas or Oklahoma? I think that people are still assuming that all nuclear power is going to end up, or have the potential to end up, just like Chernobyl.
