Gates and Buffett to create a new kind of nuclear reactor in Wyoming -- they purposefully say "Natrium" instead of Sodium for some reason (www.theguardian.com)

The run off is toxic. Sodium. Salt is toxic. It kills fauna and flora. Way to go and turn Wyoming into a desert.

It could potentially be much worse than carbon.

Where are its emissions occurring? How do they affect the surrounding environment. It could potentially cause a much worse environmental effect. Sodium into an otherwise wooded state. What complete fuckos. Just more mad corporate bullshit. Their ad campaign is almost convincing except study under that hood.

You seem to be confused.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molten_salt

"Molten salts" are salts of compounds like flouride, cyanide, chlorine, etc. Not literally table salt.

The isotope when in fission beomes plutonium. Hence they are concerned about it being weaponized. Enrichment. I am not about to explain that in perfect geek for you either it was in the links.

The spent fuel rods nuclear waste are cooled in water then incased in concrete.

The isotope when in fission beomes plutonium

How much exactly and how does that compare to LWRs?

Hence they are concerned about it being weaponized. Enrichment

The main MSR concept is to have the fuel dissolved in the coolant as fuel salt, and ultimately to reprocess that online. Thorium, uranium, and plutonium all form suitable fluoride salts that readily dissolve in the LiF-BeF2 (FLiBe) mixture, and thorium and uranium can be easily separated from one another in fluoride form. Batch reprocessing is likely in the short term, and fuel life is quoted at 4-7 years, with high burn-up. Intermediate designs and the AHTR have fuel particles in solid graphite and have less potential for thorium use.

Does it offgas plutonium if you don't use plutonium salts as a starter? Are these people full of shit when they say it's easy to seperate and reprocess?

And no, that's not "enrichment". Again, you're confused about the difference between LWRs and MSRs. MSRs do not require "enriched" anything and do not output "enriched" anything.

MSR generates less waste than conventional nuclear plants because these reactors do not use fuel rods that are used in LWRs. In addition, the reprocessing of highly radioactive fuel salts is not needed with FHR because it is efficient at burning transuranic elements.

Definition it actually is. Created plutonium. Enrichment. It sooner becomes the concern of it being used to weaponize. As in Enrichment. You are the epitome of a dumb troll.

I am not reading your fuck dumb links. They aren't the links I submitted to you.

So you sooner stopped arguing the nuclear waste. 20 percent less waste is still waste.

I don't care about its bullshit the nigger ad campaign it ain't even built yet

Fuck off dumb nigger.
