Radioactive water could be a problem???

Quote:

Nuclear power and water consumption

The Nuclear Energy Institute estimates that one nuclear reactor requires between 1,514L and 2,725L litres of water per MWh. It equates to billions of gallons of water per year, and all this water requires filtering somehow.

Have a look at SMR requirements. Water is not absolutely necessary.

SMR's don't.

"Various coolant systems are employed in SMRs, depending on the reactor design and desired operating conditions. The three primary types of coolant systems utilized in SMRs are:

Light Water Coolant Systems
Gas Coolant Systems
Liquid Metal Coolant Systems"

Why do you concentrate continually on the negatives?

Because we need RELIABLE electricity. Weather dependant renewables are NOT. Roll Eyes

Which is why weather dependent renewables is only part of the story. If the wind doesn't blow, the sun shines, if the sun doesn't shine, then water from the pumped hydro works, if the pumped hydro doesn't work the generated hydrogen works. Which is why I said they complement one another, Lee. You seem to think if the wind does not blow, the world stops. Tsk, tsk, tsk... Roll Eyes

Which facts? That renewables are not weather dependant? Roll Eyes

Brian Ross wrote on Mar 15^th, 2024 at 5:00pm:

All will complement each other, Lee.

So if you have a wind drought for 7 days and overcast conditions not being moved because there is no wind, so little solar energy, what is your back plan? The green hydrogen won't work under those conditions at all. Roll Eyes

"Climate influence on compound solar and wind droughts in Australia"

"We find that compound solar and wind droughts occur most frequently in winter, affecting at least five significant energy-producing regions simultaneously on 10% of days. The associated weather systems vary by season and by drought type, although widespread cloud cover and anticyclonic circulation patterns are common features. Indices of major climate modes are not strong predictors of grid-wide droughts, and are typically within one standard deviation of the mean during seasons with the most widespread events. However, the spatial imprints of the teleconnections display strong regional variations, with drought frequencies varying by more than ten days per season between positive and negative phases of climate modes in some regions."

Oh, dearie, dearie, me, there are other means than just wind or the sun to generate electricity. Have you ever been to Whyalla? No, I didn't think so. Tsk, tsk, tsk... Roll Eyes

What part of operational 2025 didn't you understand? And you still can't provide a source for reliable energy. Grin

Don't you think 70 years after nuclear tests, we have that data? How long do you think? 1,000 years? Roll Eyes

A figure of 24,000 years has been mentioned as the half life of Uranium waste. I reckon that would be a fair number to work on, Lee. You seem to think 70 years is a long time. Tsk, tsk, tsk... Roll Eyes

Watch and learn....

What he doesn't mention is that the nuclear waste is still radioactive, even if encased in glass. You still have to store it for it's life, which is over 24,000 years. Are you going to guarantee it during that period as safe, Belgarion? Really? Tsk, tsk, tsk... Roll Eyes

Little waste is generated

Nuclear fuel is very energy dense, so very little of it is required to produce immense amounts of electricity – especially when compared to other energy sources. As a result, a correspondingly small amount of waste is produced. On average, the waste from a reactor supplying a person’s electricity needs for a year would be about the size of a brick. Only 5 grams of this is high-level waste – about the same weight as a sheet of paper.

The generation of electricity from a typical 1,000-megawatt nuclear power station, which would supply the needs of more than a million people, produces only three cubic metres of vitrified high-level waste per year, if the used fuel is recycled. In comparison, a 1,000-megawatt coal-fired power station produces approximately 300,000 tonnes of ash and more than 6 million tonnes of carbon dioxide, every year.

https://world-nuclear.org/nuclear-essentials/what-is-nuclear-waste-and-what-do-w...

So, Soren, are you volunteering to store this nuclear waste in your home? Really? Oh, dearie, dearie, me. Tsk, tsk, tsk... Roll Eyes

A very moronic question from a very moronic, spineless, vain idiot.

Do you store the waste products of your life in your home, cockwomble? No.

In your head, sure. But not in your home.

I expected nothing less from a coward like you, Soren. Tsk, tsk, tsk... Roll Eyes

And, of course, I expect nothing more from you, moronic, spineless, vain deficit-riddled old fool.

Mr Dutton and the Coalition also came under fire on Friday from the nation’s top science body, the CSIRO, for criticism made about the organisation’s costing of various energy sources.

"At the moment, that report that was released, it doesn’t take into consideration all of the costs around renewables. I’m strongly in favour of renewables, but we need to keep the lights on and we need to keep our prices down,” he told Channel 9.

“All I’m saying is let’s have a fair comparison, instead of a skewed one, and that’s why I was critical of that particular report, not of the CSIRO in general, and I think it was a fair point to make.”

You obviously missed the bit about 96 % of the spent fuel being recyclable and the remainder being vitrified, thus rendering it safe for long term storage. Roll Eyes

Uranium 238 has a half life of 4.5 billion years. After 9 billion years it will decay leaving 25%.

Uranium is radioactive before it's mined there is no problem with it while it's in the ground.

Gamma radiation is harder to protect against.

Quote:

Radiation protection

Almost any material can act as a shield from gamma or x-rays if used in sufficient amounts.

For example, a practical shield in a fallout shelter with ten halving-thicknesses of packed dirt, which is roughly 115 cm (3 ft 9 in), reduces gamma rays to 1/1024 of their original intensity (i.e. 2−10).
