agree. those are pretty good. I’ve also seen scenarios where they put them on barges and float them to their destination beside large cities. Indonesia or malasia has a lftr plant that does that. Its currently working its way through the federal labs systems for approvals. I don’t know when that’s due. But the host country is already working on the factory to build the small nuclear reactors.
do you buy the stories about nuclear fusion being available
before the end of the decade?
Not really. Remember that it’s not just ‘it works’, but it must produce far more energy than it consumes. This presents a large number of problems.
Fission reactors are simple. For example, pebble bed just needs you to put radioactive material in ceramic balls. Then when you put the balls in an “egg carton” pattern, they start generating a fixed amount of heat.
