Government red tape kills a lot more projects than nuclear power. It has been a long time since a refinery has been built and California has chased out a bunch. A lot of nuclear plants are built near the sea so sea water can be the heat sink.Our Navy has lots of nuclear powered ships.
Pard Ive drove a submarine. I know exactly where heat transfer takes place. A reactor, or a coal plant, or the pot on your stove Is a heat source. You get a result but there is a cost in everything. It’s like risk in scuba diving, sky diving, poker playing, stock trading, how the hell much of your ass are you willing to lay out there. Balls and no brains gets you killed. Study the situation and decide can I do it. What the eff ever it is. Remember, ain’t no one getting out of here alive but you don’t get to bet me in that gamble if I don’t agree.
