It was scheduled for 31/12/2022 at the latest (since 2011), but there was a small reprieve linked to uncertainties about the winter energy situation.
Above all, it proves that in the future, Russia will not be a threat to the EU...

We are still deviating from the subject.

Bréchet uses the term "closing the uranium cycle", ie using all the energy contained in the ore and that of the Thorium to no longer depend on the supply. In France we had a head start with Super Phenix, but we have fallen behind phenomenally since Astrid stopped.

When we meet with all the sticks in the wheels... He says he is optimistic... :?: :?:

the uranium cycle will never be closed.

This expression is a scientific scam.

However, certain technologies make it possible to prolong the use of certain isotopes. Such as, for example, breeding or possible "mixing" with the (future?) Thorium sector.

Whatever paths are chosen, fission remains fission. It produces radioactive waste that we do not know how to manage seriously.

At best, some waste could be irradiated to transmute it into short-lived radioisotopes (<30 years). it's not yet perfected, and even if it were, we have to manage it on the scale of the century.

Yes, Astrid's abandonment is disastrous, but if we were ahead with Superphenix, he is way behind! : Mrgreen:

cepafo and cepagagne. The only ones in service are in countries opaque in info
In 2020, three fast neutron reactors supply an electricity network: the Russian reactors Beloyarsk-3 (BN-600) and Beloyarsk-4 (BN-800) and the Chinese CEFR. One reactor is approaching the operational phase, the PFBR (en) in Kalpakkam, India, and another is under construction in China, the CFR-600. Eight are permanently shut down.

I didn't discredit his speech "because he's an expert", I don't trust him because he's a lobbyist. : Mrgreen:

I put it there: the atomic holidays, it's the bomb! : Mrgreen:

Imagine Las Vegas pool season... while watching atomic bombs detonate at the nearby Nevada Test Site.

Pictured here are guests at the Last Frontier pool watching a mushroom cloud rise from the Simon Test, part of Operation Upshot-Knothole conducted in April 1953

" To extinguish ! This is the order that Greenpeace activists, delighted, projected in large letters on the cooling towers of the Isar II power plant. Germany disconnects nuclear power.
