@sickburnbro Exactly. I've lived about 30 minutes away from a nuclear power plant for the last 20 years. Not a single incident or even a scare. I actually fish the waters that surround it.You've undoubtedly drank bottled water that ran right by it at some point.

@Kagekokoro @sickburnbro What about it? A power plant that produces enough electricity for a million people produces 3 cubic meters of waste, supposing that it's recycled.Compare that with how much pollution is caused from burning coal to power your home.

@Kagekokoro @sickburnbro Why are you beating around the bush here? Just come out with what you want to say.You want to say that you don't want nuclear energy because you're afraid we will run out of space to store the waste. But that would be a concern we could talk about at a much later time when technology will probably have an answer for not only the storage of waste, but also probably a totally different technology for clean energy.We wouldn't run out of storage space for several hundred years. By then, I'd hope we would have a better answer.

@WhiteDissidentRadio @Kagekokoro @sickburnbro The volume of waste is pretty minimal too. The entire US only produces enough to fill half an Olympic pool a year. Sure that adds up but it's even more nominal when you consider about 90% of that waste could be recycled back into fuel. The US just doesn't recycle that shit for some reason

At the point nuclear waste could not be able to be reprocessed to extract more fuel, it wouldn't be very radioactive. The entire purpose of reprocessing "spent" fuel is to separate the radioactive parts from the non-radioactive parts and feed the radioactive parts back to power plants.

@LorgarAurelian1488 @WhiteDissidentRadio @Kagekokoro I've been meaning to look into power generation. I don't know if I don't have the right search terms of if it is just a dark art.

@Kagekokoro @sickburnbro Welp, I gave you an answer.Not only is the waste extremely small compared to the other fuels we use to create electricity, but I doubt we will run out of places to safely bury it before we find either another way to store it or another clean energy technology altogether.

I believe that is correct.The entire problem with nuclear "waste" is man-made and political not an engineering or physics problem: spent fuel still has fissible material that could be extracted, but this is not done in large part becase the processes to perform the extraction allow for extracting material useful for creating nuclear bombs or because politicians oppose nuclear "because nukes bad" and don't allow the construction of reprocessing facilities.

@WhiteDissidentRadio @Kagekokoro @sickburnbro the US doesn't have a place to permanently store high level waste at the moment. Finland is the only country that is reasonably close to completing one. not to say that a place doesn't physically exist, but there has always been too much public and political problems with actually commissioning them. Also, Yucca mountain doesn't have enough space for all our high level waste now, even if they did manage to open it.

@sickburnbro @LorgarAurelian1488 @WhiteDissidentRadio @Kagekokoro Well there's several microgrid systems out there, although that's just a package you buy from seimens or whatever. However, they mostly seem focused on distributed renewables, where everyone has solar panels on their houses and the like, and presumably inverters in their houses to manage the voltage on their end. That said, there are a few microgrid voltage regulation schemes you could consider that are infeasible for the standard grid. You could also look into large generator (>100kw) setups which I assume would have more efficient means of control.

It isn't a dark art. The generation capacity has to match the load at all times, but there are a number of feedbacks that make it work.Starting and stopping backup generations is how this is done on longer timeframes (10s of minutes or hours) but on shorter timeframes the voltage will fluctuate a bit, something like +/-5 volts for the 120/240 system in the US, the frequency will fluctuate around 60Hz and the current produced by generators changes based on load. A larger load will have a lower effective impedence, which will sink more current at a give voltage and hence more power, which makes things balance.You can get into issues with connecting more generation than the load requires as the generators will try to run faster without regulation (damaging the mechanical systems) but they are built with regulators to (try to) prevent this long enough that dispachable generation capacity can be turned off or down to better match the load.This is an oversimplification of things, but I believe covers the main points.

@EssentialUtinsil @WhiteDissidentRadio @Kagekokoro @sickburnbro What you call high level waste, we call valuable fuel, and let’s be clear, our fuel recycling is nearly half a century obsolete.The decision to not recycle waste is political, not technical, we were basically at the last step of industrializing fast neutron reactors in the 80’s and those basically turn burnt fuel into a very valuable resource instead of waste. Now, even with fast breeder reactors, there is still -some- long lived waste, but it’s tiny amounts of it (basically the only real waste is the reactor vessel itself, that neutron activated steel is just radioactive enough that we want nothing to do with it, but not enough that it’s worthwhile to recycle).

@sickburnbro @LorgarAurelian1488 @WhiteDissidentRadio @Kagekokoro I can't vouch for this book, but it's by CRC, so I assume it'll at least include terminology you can use for further research. I've also found books from 100 years ago to be pretty informative in constructing boilers and steam engines/turbines, since everything these days is proprietary equipment from the usual vendors, this may also hold for power generation equipment though I haven't read enough to say for certain.libgen.rs/book/index.php?md5=242B187C886A10E8B6AA9DE7B893256D

From the site you liked to:> Another major change relates to wastes. In the last decade interest has grown in recovering all long-lived actinides* together (i.e. with plutonium) so as to recycle them in fast reactors so that they end up as short-lived fission products. This policy is driven by two factors: reducing the long-term radioactivity in high-level wastes, and reducing the possibility of plutonium being diverted from civil use – thereby increasing proliferation resistance of the fuel cycle.Sounds a lot like what I wrote. Guess I'm wrong, though... :yui_shrug:

@MyLittleFashy @WhiteDissidentRadio @Kagekokoro @sickburnbro for the record too, I'm not anti-nuclear as a technology. In high school, I was planning on going to college for nuclear engineering but was talked out of it by the guidance councilor, and I have a close family member who's entire career was at a NPP and knows more about this than me or anybody here. I am firmly in the camp of: until we solve the jew problem, and by extension the nigger problem and anti-white problem in this country, I think nuclear power is an increasingly dangerous problem. Jew capitalism seriously limits political will to actually develop sensible nuclear technology, and anti-white policies in education limit the number of white men entering the industry, while those positions are taken over by shitskins (or women) instead.

@EssentialUtinsil @WhiteDissidentRadio @Kagekokoro @sickburnbro Yeah, our nuclear industry was a purely national thing (and an elite organization for military reasons), which preserved its quality a lot longer.It’s actually only under Macron that it really started to get capitalistic, which is probably the reason I hate him the most.

@EssentialUtinsil @WhiteDissidentRadio @Kagekokoro @sickburnbro That’s a pet peeve of mine, fusion is not really better in any way for the near future, the only reason it could be better is that we stopped investing and improving our fission plants.But fission, well managed, can be a great source of energy for tens of millennia, long enough to not rush fusion and wait for it to actually give a significant advantage.

@1967GTO @Kagekokoro @AdHocToth @WhiteDissidentRadio @deprecated_ii @sickburnbro I someone didn't read a seminal essay "The Hydrogen Hoax" by Dr. Robert Zubrin. I agree in principle that the waste is an imminently tractable problem and that we don't recycle it is completely absurd. Among other factors, recycling is necessary for advantageous Thorium cycle. But hydrogen as an energy carrier is just a bad idea.

@EssentialUtinsil @WhiteDissidentRadio @Kagekokoro @sickburnbro I do believe that fusion reactors are a great research project, not really for the direct research in power production fusion, but for all the side benefits.And it would give us relatively “cheap” very high flux neutron sources for material research purposes, which would be a great way to fast track the necessary knowledge of neutron activation and damage necessary for improving our fission plants.Right now, apart from the political issues, a big part of why we don’t innovate much in fission plants is that anytime you go away from well known systems, you really don’t have a firm idea of how the new materials you want to use will age under neutron flux 😞

@MyLittleFashy @WhiteDissidentRadio @Kagekokoro @sickburnbro Good points. I think a lot has to do with less interest in the field too, or just interest in pursuing high-level scientific fields in general. There is a large education and experience barrier to get to the point where you can even start doing this sort of research, and I think far too many guys with the necessary IQ are just funneled away into more lucrative stuff. Like I said, I was obsessed with this stuff in high school, but my guidance councilor said there weren't that many jobs prospects, and that going through the Navy's nuclear program was almost a requirement for a lot of them, so I ended up going into electrical engineering instead. You see the same thing happening with other things like medicine too. Unless you are really passionate about these things from a fairly young age, you're not going to commit to the better part of a decade of schooling followed by years of building your experience up after that to finally get to the position you want.

I'm not sure there is a better general purpose fuel than a liquid hydrocarbon mix (gasoline and diesel). If there was one that was readily available, I expect it would already be in use somewhere.The closest candidates I've seen are ethanol and methanol, but those have their own issues (attracts water and invisible flame safety hazard).

@Kagekokoro @WhiteDissidentRadio @sickburnbro > what about nuclear waste?Vitrification and proper storage takes care of it, most of the residue is not that dangerous as you've been told. Most of what surrounds nuclear engineering and residue handling is scaremongering from the cold war.The only issue with radioactive isotopes is dispersion, as long as you prevent dispersion you're OK. But this is the same with any other chemical or industrial poison.

@deprecated_ii @teknomunk @Kagekokoro @union @1967GTO @AdHocToth @WhiteDissidentRadio This topic is key and I will keep mentioning it. When you have multiple choices for *energy storage* you need to look at all the positives and negatives.Things that you can store uncompressed have a lot of value because then they are easy to refuel and don't present a hazard when approaching an unknown container.Imagine working on a hydrogen car - if it is say 15 years old - how do you know the tank is in good shape? So the smart thing to do will be do a recapture.It turns every interaction into HVAC service, basically. Which is a pain.

@Kagekokoro @WhiteDissidentRadio @sickburnbro You do realise that Nuclear Waste from reactors is minimal do you? Compared to any other industry's waste Nuclear is trivial to control due to the small amounts of waste it produces compared to anything else.This is a very simplified look at it: Radioactive stuff is easy to control and much less dangerous if you separate/dilute its mass with another material to prevent criticality (runaway reactions). For example let's say I have a kilo of residue, I will mix it with concrete so that only a few grams are in contact with one another, that way the surrounding material acts as a shield to and prevent down the reaction, then if I encase the container with another thick container I have a stable containment that I can store. It is more complex than that in which you need to use the right materials, but that's basically it. The procedures have existed since the late 70s.Radioactive waste is like any other type of waste.Also highly radioactive isotopes are highly radioactive for relatively short periods of time, after 20-30 years if handled properly they do not pose any serious risk.

Liquid fuels havenct been beat with redards to ease of storage and safety.As far as compressed gases for fuel go, propane seems to be the best in class even though it looks like CNG has wider adoption and is easier to synthesize.It has a long enough carbon chain to liquify under moderate pressure, people are familiar with how to safely handle propane tanks and it is in use for some vehicles (mainly forklifts, if I remember correctly).

They make jeep rock crawlers that run on propane and you can convert it with a simple kit.You can't really use liquid fuel when you're climbing steep rocks, so they use propane. Propane burns at a higher octane, produces almost no emission and extends the life of engine oil. For about $500, you can run propane in just about any vehicle.

Internet says propane is 100-200 PSIG to liquify at room temperature. CNG is about 3,600 PSIG and hydrogen is 5,000-10,000 PSIG and neither liquify at room temperature.

He exhausted his minions (grad students) researching why hydrogen was the worst idea and so the chapter on the alternatives did not have any comparison with e.g. ammonia. The proper fuel can be selected once we agree that hydrogen is stupid.

@sickburnbro @WhiteDissidentRadio @Kagekokoro They should just bury the non-recyclable waste in abandoned plutonium mines or something. When an already irradiated mine goes fallow you compact the waste into a solid cube and then dump it into the irradiated mine.It shouldn't cause any ill effect because a plutonium mine is already irradiated to begin with. If you started burying at the bottom most shaft you could even improve the structural stability of the mine without investing in actual building materials and it would thus reduce risks of seismic instability in the region.
