@✙ dcc :pedomustdie: :phear_slackware: mm nope iz horrible and needs maintenance hundreds of thousands of years..digging holes or bunkers for what? But first they need to enrich uranium thing that use huge amount of energy then transport the fuel then bore tunnels thru bedrock for spent fuel lol. Nuke plants are vulnerable to floods cos all of them need vast amounts of water for cooling. But now they are in the way of a potential huge flood.. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_civilian_nuclear_accidents

@Lord of lez Strings 🏄🏻‍♂️ 🎯 🌴�... Look into molten salt based reactors. They solve some of the inherent problems you mentioned. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquid_fluoride_thorium_reactor @✙ dcc :pedomustdie: :phear_slackware:

@2a5b1656 @✙ dcc :pedomustdie: :phear_slackware: may be but it's overly complex like its older brother and look at its disadvantages at the bottom of the page.. When you need electric power you wanna produce it as stupid simple as possible. The new technology that puts to work tidal waves is ultra smart. Also solar concentrators (not solar panels) show some potential but I doubt it can be done something serious with that for large scale production.

@2a5b1656 @✙ dcc :pedomustdie: :phear_slackware: when something is so complex it has much more points of failure. It uses super expensive materials that have special qualities. The level of maintenance and skill needed are exaggeratedly high. I don't think it breaks even financially if considered all operations including nuke waste disposal and upgrades.

@Lord of lez Strings 🏄🏻‍♂️ 🎯 🌴�... @2a5b1656 The entire point of the salt is to make sure if anything goes wrong the plant can not melt down, the reactor is not much more complex than the old ones in fact, less so becuase of the salt.
