Grave Concerns over Nuclear Power

Postby Cookster » Sun Jan 31, 2010 7:57 pm

Efficiency:

Physicists say increasing the size of a reactor increases the thermal efficiency by an epxonential factor of three.

Manufacturers say (when they tell the truth) mass production of units can provide a fourfold reduction in costs.

So big nuclear plants make sense. The devil is in the details, however since the thermal efficiency is not being fully developed and realized.
Not by a long shot. It makes economic sense to build smaller nuclear reactors and really get the technology down.

I hope the President studies this issue while funding the nuclear expansion.
Communist propaganda portrays peace, social progress, and economic prosperity as characteristic of the communist world and claims that these make communist nations invincible. (pamphlet by J Edgar Hoover)
