It’ll come back eventually unless fusion takes over. The power density promises are simply too attractive.
34 6 ReplyNever mind that pesky burning taste, imagine the power savings!
18 0 ReplyThe 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.

23 1 ReplyThe imperial system doesn't have any electromagnetism units that I'm aware of, so they borrow from SI.

I'm so out of my depth in this thread. Is this a real side effect of radiation?
2 0 ReplyI 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.

Too 👏 cheap 👏 to 👏 meter
49 2 ReplyGiven 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.
