Twelve days before Chernobyl

Posted by Awe-d-o-file (D) on January 13, 2017 at 06:16:48

The US successfully tested a sodium cooled nuclear reactor. It ran 30 plus years trouble free since. The Sodium fluid in it, with potassium I believe, has a boiling point of over 1600F compared to waters 212. Also a company has a new design that even if power is lost can passively cool itself down without electricity all but eliminating the risk of nuclear power. Fukushima failed from losing power and it's back up generators.

More good news is that these newer designs can run on DU which is great since we have enough DU in Kentucky to give the whole US power for 700 years. The DU is created from the enrichment process we now use to create the concentrated pellets the reactors in use today require. An expensive process itself which would be eliminated.

Regulation needs to be changed as since Chernobyl almost no new nuclear power plants have been built in the US. Because of this regulation Bill Gates venture into this new technology is first being built in China.
