What is Veeky Forums's opinion on nuclear energy?

>The output of toxic waste by reactors is minuscule compared to the output of toxic waste by refineries/bleaching facilities/anything industrial involving chemicals.
There is a lot of chemistry involved both in turning ore to fuel pellets and in recycling fuel pellets separating out the various elements.
>arxiv
I had a look but that didn't really look like a lot of activity.
>accidents
With complexities comes danger of things going wrong. And it is hard to simplify a nuclear reactor.
>Provided regulations are stringent, you're safe.
Agreed. However many plants, especially in the UK and FR, were under military secrecy protection so any mishap was immediately covered up. We know the Irish Sea is radioactive and that there is a suspicious amount of Technetium and that they had to rename Windscale. most of the rest is secret and digging around will land you in jail.

If the dumb nips had bought heavy water CANDU instead of light water GE CANTDU they wouldn't of had these issues.

>Just keep dropping your flawed opinions as you go, develop the ones that seem to work
Shit nigger that's profound
>I'm doing a project on its application in Australia
Stupid in Australia, from purely logistics and cost considerations..
What does Australia lack?
>An established nuclear industry
>A large pool of skilled labour
>Highly concentrated hydro use
>Lax waste disposal laws
What does Australia have in droves?
>Girt surrounded by water
>Light
>Wind
>Uranium
>Access to Chinese industry
>Access to Chinese labour
Everything about Australia makes it expensive to do nuclear and inexpensive to do solar and wind

Use liquid salt fuel instead of solid pellets and this process becomes vastly simpler, easier, more economical, and safer.
>With complexities comes danger of things going wrong. And it is hard to simplify a nuclear reactor.
Yes, but it is far easier to simplify a liquid fueled reactor than it is to simplify a solid fueled reactor. Liquid fuel reactors also come with the features of not being physically capable of melting down, because as the fuel heats up it expands so much that the reaction slows down, and it is not possible for a liquid fuel reactor to undergo a steam explosion, because there's no water in the reactor.
>Irish Sea is radioactive
All sea water is radioactive.
>most of the rest is secret and digging around will land you in jail.
And how do you know this?

kek, maybe you mean less expensive.

The topic was about ore to fuel. And if you really believe dumping raw ore into salt will do you have absolutely no idea about this.
>All sea water is radioactive.
Some more than others. And technetium has too short lifetime compared to geological time frames to be naturally occurring. Again I suspect you having no idea.
>And how do you know this?
Oh, you know, like living in the UK. The Official Secrets Act does have teeth.
