I do not know, but the real question is whether uranium in 30CH is really effective against hay fever.

Thank you, I started to write a response to this sewer bottom statement, I gave it up and erased it by not finding the words, because the initial statement 'was really too stupid.
The answer of an elected, it is worth more!

Sorry to have skipped the subject but finished laughing : Mrgreen:
Astrid would have however raised France to the first rank on the new technology in the sector which would have made it possible to reuse "the radioactive materials resulting from the production of electricity of the current nuclear fleet", and to prevent them from becoming new waste nuclear.
What future for French nuclear power?
Today, second-generation reactors are in service. Those of the third generation, so-called EPR reactors, are under construction, as in Flamanville. And the government has not yet made its decision on the construction of a new series of these reactors, he intends to decide the question between 2021 and 2025. https://lexpansion.lexpress.fr/actualit ... 96009.html
It's MSR that he should not have given up, but hey! it continues anyway ...

Astrid was therefore a type RNR-Na reactor
Le MSR, if it succeeds, still has advantages:
  • RNR-Na and MSR have the same advantages as fast spectrum,
  • Compared to MSR, Na-RNRs have a much more complex fuel cycle
    in its implementation and its temporality, cf. § 3.2.2.
  • MSRs have greater potential for incineration, and potentially
    simpler in their implementation,
  • Unlike RNR-Na, MSRs have a very flexible fuel composition, also
    well at startup during operation,
  • Network load monitoring is possible with MSRs (the power variations have
    characteristic times ~ 1 minute) and does not pose particular problems to
    structures, fuel salt or exploitation, taking into account the characteristics of a
    MSR.
We will have to act quickly now because global warming is urgent :frown:

to return to the remark ofIzentrop

Lauvergeon and all the clique have scuttled the French nuclear industry with EPR and Uramin.

For EPR, it started the construction of a sophisticated reactor while most of the engineers and skilled managers were retiring, not to mention the cookie-cut contracts in Finland signed in an arrogant carelessness, the time of Sarkozy ...

and for Uramin, corruption and megalomania prevailed ... against the very opinion of the geologists of Areva who alerted internally ...

I am not pro-nuclear, but beyond the energetic appeal, I also see breedering as a way to have shorter-lived waste; nevertheless, it seems that the operation of the reactors is even more delicate than the traditional fission plants. In France we abandon the developments of ASTRID after having invested enormously ... and even have already achieved a viable prototype with Super Phényx

so I'm very cautious and I think government people do not have the 1 / 10th scientific knowledge to make relevant decisions.

the fast neutron sector must be recognized as having the possibility of recovering depleted uranium and an "incineration" (the word is wrong, let's say transmutations) of fission products making it possible to limit HAVL (high activity long life).

However, the risk of nuclear accidents still hovers like a sword of Damocles, perhaps even more with the heat carrier sodium.

Some specialists have more hope in the "molten salt reactors" ...

my intuition is that we should develop the REs keeping the nuclear minimum, but the nuclear efficient and relevant ...

The first Russian nuclear power plant has arrived at its destination

REUTERS • 14 / 09 / 2019

Russia's first floating nuclear power plant has reached its final destination in the Chukotka region over the Bering Strait, state-owned nuclear power company Rosatom said on Saturday.

The Akademik Lomonosov should be operational by the end of the year. It needs to replace an aging nuclear power plant and a coal-fired power plant that currently supply more than 50.000 inhabitants of this region of the Russian Far East.

It will be the most northerly nuclear power station on the planet.

Rosatom, which built the Akademik Lomonosov in Murmansk, at 5.000 km from its final location, presents these mobile floating plants as the ideal solution for providing electricity to isolated population basins.

The Russian company also stresses that they must reduce greenhouse gas emissions and counteract global warming.

These floating plants are supposed to be able to operate between three and five years before having to be refueled.

Russians who want to fight against global warming ... : roll:

in fact, these plants are there primarily to spit electric MWh to extreme places and can be moved.

from the point of view of global warming, the Russians are the ones who have the most to gain. This could thaw huge fertile lands, open up strategic shipping routes in the far North, and soften their climate in general.
