[@KaiseruSoze]

In the end it will be the consumer who pays the electric bill. And price/kWh was never mentioned. Softball questions? The molten sodium/uranium salt is highly corrosive. Is it contained in stainless steel? A ceramic? How often do you replace the container? How much does that cost? Is it dangerous? NO doubt. If sodium comes into contact with water it explodes. You really do not want uranium spreading around. How do you replenish it?

[@crystalb1765]

I bet you can get answers to all of these questions. do some research and find out?

[@richardbaird1452]

Kaiseru, here is a primer on your softball questions... There is no molten salt in the Natrium reactor, it is pure liquid sodium cooled, with solid metallic rather than ceramic oxide fuel, which is what enhances its negative temperature coefficient of reactivity i.e. it automatically throttles based on its temperature, shutting down automatically as the temp rises. Look into the EBR-II reactor which is what this one is based on and ran problem free for nearly 30 years from 65-94. In particular, check out the safety testing done in the mid 80s where they tested EBR-II at full power by shutting down all the safety systems and then turned off the cooling system. The reactor temp raised a bit and then dropped to idle with no human or mechanical actions taken just based on the physics of the core itself. Keep water away from the reactor building and you basically have a melt-down proof system just based on physics. No valves, backup generators or other moving parts required. Liquid sodium is completely compatible with stainless steels with no corrosion, another thing proved with EBR-II. Another advantage is that it runs near atmospheric pressure in the reactor vs. very high pressure in water cooled reactors. This is possible because the boiling point of liquid sodium is much higher than the temp the reactor runs at (the opposite of water cooled reactors). To keep moisture in the air away, they use an argon cover gas at the top of the reactor, similar to what welders do to prevent oxidation of their welds. The molten salt used in this facility is only for heat storage, similar to concentrated solar, a proven technology. It is not involved directly in the reactor, contains no fuel and is not radioactive. Natrium is what is called an SFR (Sodium Fast Reactor). You may be thinking about MSRs (Molten Salt Reactor) which is a totally different design where the fuel is dissolved into molten salts which reside in the reactor itself. This isn't that type. In MSRs, corrosion is something that needs to be addressed, although interestingly it isn't the pure salt itself that is the main source of corrosion, it is the fission products dissolved in it that cause most of the problem. In Natrium, the heat is transferred from the primary sodium in the reactor pool into a secondary (non radioactive) sodium loop which takes it out of the reactor. This secondary sodium then transfers the heat to the molten salt which is stored in insulated tanks well away from the reactor itself. The steam generator generates steam from the heat stored in the molten salt, not the sodium, so there is significant separation between the sodium and the water as well as the ability to load follow the grid. Hope that helps.

[@nathanbanks2354]

@@richardbaird1452 Nice explanation--it was completely missing from this interview other than a brief explanation of the construction costs (Gates seemed to imply that the plant will operate at a loss, but if they make 100 of them they'll make money). It's neat that they found a way to follow demand by storing the heat energy in sodium until the demand is needed. This solves the problem of xenon poisoning that you get from turning the reactor up and down quickly.

They are adding thousands of battery storage to replace old dirty fossil fuel peaker plants. Texas also has an incredible solar and wind energy infrastructure.

As we saw in Fukashima and with near misses in Ukraine, the problem with nuclear is that it is incredibly safe until the power grid goes down which means nuclear plants have the potential to make a disaster that affects the power grid much worse. They still have not been able to design a plant that is truly "walk-away safe" and that term is used by marketers to merely describe a plant that can survive for a few days without power without melting down.

[@jr.6199]

Fukushima had back up generators on the ground level for cooling pumps. These dont have the cooling water pumps and not built in tidal zones. So two primary faults eliminated.

[@rickmartin9420]

@@jr.6199 So, if they do not have pumps, then how is the heat transfer fluid circulated? Because every reactor has heat transfer fluid: water, molten sodium, a gas, etc. which needs to move. Moreover, the spent fuel is also stored in a water pool just like every other reactor and that pool needs pumps to remove heat and prevent the fuel from becoming uncovered and melting down. I don't know if you are trying to imply CO2 causes cancer? It is not a carcinogen. A lot of people get lung cancer without exposure or they get lung cancer from things like radon in the home or asbestos at their jobs. If you believe global warming is an existential threat and must be solved asap, then maybe nuclear is the best option for you, but I would rather use another solution because the type of disasters than can cause reactors to melt down are imminent - they will definitely happen at some point and nuclear is extremely expensive at least in the west - perhaps it is a better option in China.

Thanks for your efforts Bill!

[@WindowsToEternity]

I’d like to see Margaret focus more on the subject of nuclear waste, which has become a burgeoning problem with all fission reactors, one that is overflowing nationwide. Yucca Mtn. NV waste repository has been a tremendous controversy and anything but a simple answer to humanity’s problems. So-called breeder reactors carry new security risks not mentioned, in that they produce less waste but refined weapons-grade byproducts. Mr. Gates is an unelected citizen attempting to lead policy formation without any special approval by the rest of the citizens of our country, to his own financial benefit. Nothing makes him ‘citizen one’ on solving these technological problems, instead he is an investor. But you’ll notice he talks of the cooling system but not nuclear waste to bamboozle the audience. Another problem not discussed is that if we merely serve economic growth with more energy, then we do nothing to address the growing fresh water supply issues, that will lead to the compounding of our problems together with the dangers of nuclear waste storage en masse.

This is NOT a typical fission breeder reactor. Do your home work

And he's bought up all the land over the major aquafers in the US. He's an asshole

[@WindowsToEternity]

Only if it passes muster under the objective lens, and not merely proponents’ claims, should it move ahead. We must remember that any risks would multiply out if a greater system were spread out based upon some new ‘atypical’ breeder reactor basis - if it is actually new. The highest standards in Europe may be being followed by Germany, which understands the science and has begun to ban nuclear energy systems and move toward renewable energy.

[@MarkJensen-se8nn]

*Re: Particle Physics | Fission vs Fusion Criticality* ▪Theoretical fusion reactors of tomorrow will produce low level short term radioactive bi products. ▪Applied fission reactors of today produce highly radioactive long term radioactive bi products. In short, fusion criticality packs more energy in scale and yields significantly lower levels of radioactive bi products or waste. e.g carbon neutral or non carbon emmitting which eliminates greehouse gases.

Years ago, National Geographic had an article about the newly developed designs for nuclear power plants. They all were simpler, cheaper and easier to build while having another HUGE advantage; they can't melt down. It takes effort to keep them going and if anything goes wrong, they shut down by default. Also many of then consume, instead of, creating radioactive material.
