We solved the chemical and physical problems of purifying Uranium in about 4 years; 1941 to 1945. Given the same resources in 40 years it is impossible to imaging the amount of clean energy we could have had today. There are still those that are still trying to use impractical ideas to avoid make the ultimate decision.

Is something that I've been saying for at least 30 years. Former Washington State governor Dixie Lee Ray once said that we should be storing all our spent nuclear waste where we could get at it easily because one day we would want it to be able to use the energy remaining in it. Instead we have adopted a policy of trying to hide it as far away as possible.

Oct 5th, 2004 JDL I think the point there is simple: we know how, but we're not doing it. We need to begin doing it, something like me and losing weight. 2050 puts it into the era when my grandchildren will be coming up for retirement, but with one exception, they've got their heads too far up their asses to get involved in anything outside themselves...from what I've seen, that's not at all unusual, and is one result of making it too frigging easy for several generations, starting with mine. They, though, are the second generation that has started out expecting to begin with more than their parents are finishing with. |

.... Yes, but since raw ore transformed into fuel is a few dollars cheaper than reprocessing, it is being used instead of reprocessing. We'd have a lot less high-level waste if we reprocessed, as most of the world is doing. .... Actually, there's very little commercial nuclear fuel being reprocessed anywhere at the moment anywhere in the world not just the US. The difference is it is virtually all economics elsewhere while it's the remnants of the Carter edict against it in the US (although it's highly likely it would have followed the path of the rest of the world as not continuing even if started owing to economics here as well). There really wouldn't be any significant less HLW except in that it might consume less physical volume as most of the highly radioactive components are the byproducts not the retrieved fuel. The prime reason against it any time _real_soon_now_ is the volume of HEU available to be blended down from the agreement w/ Russia on dismantling a sizable fraction of their warheads and returning the HEU to the US as LEU. With the stagnant demand for commercial fuel over the last 40 years owing to no growth in installed capacity and this already processed material there's actually considerable disincentive to reprocess spent fuel at the present. One use that's never been made use of in any extent is the spent fuel waste heat that is fairly significant for a while after discharge. Like other sources of lower-grade energy, it's never been sufficiently cost-effective to bother with even though there may be as much as 10% of full power output in a spent fuel bundle at discharge which for a typical PWR would be about 500 kW/bundle initially. If had a third-reactor discharge per fuel cycle that would be somewhere in the neighborhood of 80 MWt. That could be quite a lot of process or space heating. -- |

OTOH, folks don't seem to much value nor draw satisfaction from that which comes their way without cost. From the production standpoint, the effort to produce such devices for people who didn't value them and who derived no satisfaction from using them, would rather quickly become pointless. Still, one can bone up on math and physics, delve into fluid dynamics and heat transfer, refresh the hazy thermodynics memories, and then proceed more or less directly to a design of ones own. At that point all that's needed is to get the right materials into an appropriately equipped shop and do the assembly.

Bailey asked the "are you still beating your wife question:" "Mr Hunt, one only has to visit the men of great wealth who have made this country great with their business endeavors and made it even greater with their charities. The Rockefellers, Fords, Carnegies, and more. Why is it you've never seen fit to share your largess with those less fortunate?" Hunt looked at Bailey as if Bailey had just eaten a bug. "I use my money to give people something better than a pretty picture to look at in some museum. I give 'em a job." 'Course Hunt was famous for bringing his lunch to work every day in a paper bag. The same paper bag. |
