Hello Guy,
it is necessary to know that wherever Bardal and Sicétaitsimple pass, they make the union to ridicule their interlocutors with an unfeigned morgue.
therefore the debate is of very poor quality.
They are also 2 convinced nuclear scientists ... they probably do not see the facts well, but they are sure that their opponents are ignoramuses and in error ...
If not to return to the subject,
molten salt reactors are a technique to consider, but it remains fission with a lot of radioactive waste, even if less than the PWR sector.
maybe the fast neutron version
https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/R%C3%A9ac ... ns_rapideswould be interesting to convert long-lived waste into short-lived waste by transmutation.
the breeder side is fascinating, but in my opinion, we should not focus energy policy on nuclear (it gives too much waste, high risks, and costs higher than renewable energies), we must rather use sparingly and nuclear strategy to support the energy transition.
France is in a headlong rush, it has invested too much to slow down and continues to invest by burying itself in the atom. We can see it with the EPR, but it is on a much larger scale, that of its electric mix, of the order of 60 GW.
