Nuclear energy should be centralized and on a massive scale. Venture capital investing in power plants that could power one industrial site using a fuel that doesn't even exist yet smells like a scam.
Small reactors, big dumb idea
Nuclear energy should be banned
Move back to Germany.
They are, all 14 of the new AI super clusters are powered by the new mini reactors. I know 3 in Georgia are going online soon, and trump announced (kinda) that all the red tape on nuke plants is pretty much gone. The reason he is putting coal back on the table is because the plants are already be bukt, and there is zero reason not to use them for another 20 years as we make the transition. That all banks on commercial fusion not being real.
You do realize you're trusting a population of an average IQ of 85 to handle your nuclear reactors, right? Nuclear reactors that can't be shut off for 50 years. What will America look like in 50 years? African? Muslim? Mexican? Indian? No intelligent person should trust these retards.
the red tape on nuke plants is pretty much gone.
That means the feds will be on the hook to clean up their mess and buy their bankrupt company.
Illinois with most nuke plants
Chicago
Yeah I think we will be okay chang, BTW

Lmfao chang so mad right now, when they hang that faggot Xi, you just know they are going to pull his pants down and show that tiny rice grain to the world for one last kek. When China finally goes back to feudal warlord state, how much do you think it will cost to blow up the big bust of beethoven they call the Mao money shot?
As a national socialist, I can only dream. First the nuke plants, then we build the camps.
Stange the US has been fine with floating nuclear powered cities and under water tubes for sixty years now. Fucking glue eaters like you sucking big oils cock has held our species back
And when the boomers who operate those plants die off? Who takes over? Tyrone and Miguel will. The average IQ of these races are so low that America needed to change the IQ definition of retarded because it was considered racist.
My heckin' cool science bro redditor! Imagine nuclear freakin' powered cities! What could go wrong?
For me? It's got to be the SL-1 reactor incident.
The naval reactors are the only ones that ever became reliable for their specific application. All those early land based small reactors became a maintenance problem and more expensive and less reliable than diesel fuel.
Nuclear reactors cannot be shut off when they're activated for the next 50 years. youtube.com
China has a prototype fusion reactor running right now. Discussions about fission reactors are going to seem quaint and outdated in a few years
Nuclear excursions sound exciting.
current fusion tech doesn't scale down well, capital costs for commercial plants are going to be eye-watering
so in the meantime, coal<gas<nuclear with a dash of solar on the side
Small nuclear reactors are kino and should be used for more things.
Checked. This will happen.
field trip, yay!
Don't you want to colonize the moons of Jupiter?
JPL is working on NTRs again, the future is kino
I bet those people will become more insular than Mormons. Why can't robots explore space?
America has had fusion reactors for literally decades. This is an old meme. Fusion reactors are never going to be energy positive, fission is much cheaper and easier.
Checked.
Fission reactors won't ever be outdated. There's loads of fissile fuel in the earths crust, and they can breed useful isotopes.
What's the proposed fuel for when fusion tech is figured out? He3 and deuterium?
I'm guessing it's probably because you're aroused by the idea of being impaled by a big hard metal shaft, aren't you?
The point is not to have a reactor, many developed countries have that. It's to create a stable sustained reaction that can viably be turned into a part of the power grid. China now has sustained reaction time up to 17 minutes, that's the breakthrough
qrd? I haven't heard that news.
, fission is much cheaper and easier.
I think without Russia the US is kind of low on Uranium enrichment capacity especially if more power plants are to be opened.
What's the proposed method of converting the energy to electricity? Thermal? Or can the charged particles of the plasma be used to directly induce current?
I say we make stupidity an energy source.
We hook generators up to Leftists, and then force them to cry about "Orange Hitler".
Failing that, we can just change the energy source to Evil, and add Jews, Muslims, and atheists up to that.
This is beyond my personal physics literacy, so I have no idea. The articles are here though

Smol reactor
Oh my, it is cute! I want one! :3
most of the energy comes out as fast neutrons
chinkoids are full of shit, their plasma wasn't even reacting, they just made a big helium lightbulb and kept it on for a while
No I don't. I want a white country.
What's up with ol' Shirtless Bob next to a reactor? Probably smoked three packs of Winston's a day.
AI clusters should have their own small nuclear plants, it just makes sense.
Bob is shirtless because he just got out of his bunny suit for the photoshoot and he didn't have a clean t-shirt because he had spilled coffee on himself commuting to work that morning
Is this the Chinese moon landing photo?
I don't believe anything any more, let alone stolen Chinese research projects
it is difficult to prevent people from weaponizing it if it is available that freely.
Stfu retarded, micro-reactors are the future, a car with a nuclear engine is the future, not that you would know that on your crooked kike economy full of vices and what, half which you don't even know about.
depends
thorium MSRs are pretty hard to make bombs from
China has been leading the west in scientific research for a while now, even according to western publications like Nature that have no incentive to lie. There's no point denying it, we just have to do collectively better
a car with a nuclear engine is the future
Every man should have his own home reactor.
ok gas brapping vatnigger
Checked. Thanks for the article.
Clean energy vegan faggot. Go ride your bicycle in your African infested shit hole.
doesn't even exist yet
we have had nuclear warships for decades.
they just wont let us have one under evey wallmart because they don't want weapons grade uranium in every hick town
It wouldn't even be the same design. Small reactors do not use nuclear fuel efficiently or economically anyway. Bigger is better.
It's a tough pill to swallow. 8 of the top 10 and 17 of top 25 research universities are in China according to Nature.
The smartest people in the west go into finance, they don't waste their talents on measly 6 figure stem careers.
STEM pays great in the west, just not as a scientific researcher. Applied science like software engineering is very well compensated. People got where the money is and it isn't in scientific research unfortunately
The trend is also pretty bad for the west. Chinese scientific contributions are rising rapidly while western contributions are flat or atrophying
Perfecting the toroidal EM containment field is the first step. Wouldn't expect tests to be much more than a lightbulb at this stage.
What's the next step though? Any idea how the energy and fusion products will be utilized?
Seems like even if its realized, the scarcity of fuel and complexity of the system makes it ill suited for generating power (on earth at least).
I wonder what kind of uses a fusion reactor would have as a charged particle source for a particle accelerator.
If future America is white then it won't nuke itself. If future America is black, indian or muslim then you shouldn't care if it nukes itself. Why do you care if niggers get radiation sickness?
what kind of uses a fusion reactor would have as a charged particle source for a particle accelerator
none whatsoever
Any idea how the energy and fusion products will be utilized?
me? I have a few. chinks will try to copy FLiBe.
Wouldn't expect tests to be much more than a lightbulb at this stage.
why not? other labs have ignited plasmas many years ago
yes it's harvesting the heat. As a general rule all large scale electrical generation ends up powering a steam turbine.
STEM pays great in the west, just not as a scientific researcher. Applied science like software engineering is very well compensated.
It does pay well, but it's still pedestrian compared to the fortunes that can be made on Wallstreet.
The guys who made Deepseek AI were quantbros, making millions trading stocks with home brewed AI.
China had some crackdown on financial regulations. So with nothing better to do, fortunes already made, AI experience and a warehouse of GPUS, they made Deepseek and gave it away for free for the lulz.
That's just an example of talented minds that were diverted to the finance casino. The potential rewards are much greater than honest stem jobs could ever pay.
Seethe more greenpeace libtard
Yep, you're right. I never applied for quant shit because it's not personally interesting to me but it is the path to unimaginable riches
Imagine nuclear freakin' powered cities
He's talking about aircraft carriers and subs you stupid fucking monkey
Our 51st state has a lot of Uranium.
There’s a lot of chink and foreign bots in here doing glow ops not joking. The green movments in Europe are largely funded by the Chinese and Russians. In the UK it’s the Chinese I know in Germany it’s Russians. This Is a common tactic of their intelligence agencies to fuck over and control their enemies.
Many Germans tell me that there was lots of East German and Soviet involvement in creation of Green Party. And that merkel was like entirely dependent on Russian energy and had ties.
TLDR all the excessive seething and coping over the tarrifs are likly feds or psyoped retards. I’m not saying there isn’t any valid arguments but they all seem to sound the same and are spammed on like every board as of late. Intelligence guy I talked to said many having been targeting here as of late. And after the Ukraine war and seeing the Russian tactics then of propaganda it seems exactly the same
Muh funds on wallstreet.
You won't get in with the right folks if you aren't of the right folks (jews and zionists) they won't let in pedestrians who aren't already bought and sold for their Jewish World Order. Wallstreet is just bunch of Jewish criminals monopolizing the stock market. Its the most Jewish way to make money, by not growing things or making things by your own hands, but by playing with other people's money. Its nothing but a rigged casino.
Jews will never physically work anyway.
Uranium ore. Anon was clearly talking about enrichment capacity to concentrate it to fuel grade.
There's a reason America still imports Russian Uranium in spite of sanctions. Canada, Australia, Africa, Khakstan, etc are exporting yellow cake. Russia has enriched, fuel-grade uranium for sale.
what a nice, ripe cherry you have picked there. and im sure westernersfl flood to those universities as well
Think maintenance would be an issue still. Reactors are constantly breaking down and leaking shit all the time.
Small reactors, big dumb idea
aren't they already doing a bunch of research on them so microsoft and other big tech companies can operate their AI shit?
are you retarded?
Rich Chinese parents send their kids to American schools if they don't have the grades to get accepted at top Chinese universities. You only need money to get accepted at Harvard.
I think that is 3 mile island
Discussions about fission reactors are going to seem quaint and outdated in a few years
fusion will never be a thing. the fusion reactor breeder blanket idea is ridiculous pie in the sky shit. just look around you, the universe is full of fusion reactors. they've all got one thing in common, they're massive fucking stars. mass and fusion energy are inextricably linked. whereas we've found naturally occurring fission reactors right here on planet Earth.
it's for industries retard,
instead of running a turbine running on oil you pump just use the mini nuclear reactor.
instead of running turbine to run the mining operation run it on a nuclear turbine.
it's for remote operations faggot.
It's a bullshit ranking, for two reasons: a) only in America are teaching and research institutions combined together, and b) the Chinx game the fuck out of these rankings.
Westerners couldn't ever be accepted into a top Chinese university. Skill issue. (Well, maybe as ballet instructors or handegg coaches.)
Pull central control rod fully out
Die
Pvt Elmer Dinkle should not be working on reactors.
