phxfreddy 6mos ago refers to "liberal enviro-religion idiot". I'm sorry but all the religious "idiots" I know are reactionary in their nature. The non-reactionary liberal religious folks I happen to know are not idiots. They happen to be generally well educated and reasoned people. So I ask who is the idiot? The well-reasoned educated person being call "idiot" or the name caller?
For me the cons before where containment safety and water consumption. Clearly these issues are addressed in the presentation by way of using a closed inert gas circuit for powering turbine generation. The pebble bed reactor design has the new graphite fuel spheres that are self contained preventing leakage in long term storage before recycling. With a negative temperature coefficient reactor to naturally cool it's self if all else fails, there is little to worry about.
Not the best promo for fission I've heard... didnt hear much about breeder reactors and some of the other waste-burning reactions currently being demonstrated in test reactors. Either way, I generally support nuclear fuel usage... being in a radiation feild myself... but I still not sure if I am ready to see my neighbors to have access to SNM ... but I was happy to see him point out transport of ram vs transport of just about every other hazardous material out there.
Coal power in the united states kills ~4-11 times more people per year from particulate pollution alone every single year than could ever die from Chernobyl.
So far 56 people have died from Chernobyl and you can extrapolate out to ~4000 deaths using the LNT model.
In the roughly half year since this was made a lot changed. He mentioned how people wanted to put off officially applying for a license because of the costs.
This is true, but they have since formally applied for such licenses.

Yes. And when Nuclear plants explode they release flowers and kittens. And the only waste they produce is safe and delicious.

The audio is kinda jittery and this is distracting. Fixing it would be cool, if possible. Good talk though.
