That's why factory fabricated microreactors are such a cool concept!

And by the time that concept becomes reality we'll either be running 100% renewable energy or dead from climate change

[–] CherenkovBlue@iusearchlinux.fyi -2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Nope. Deployment of factory fabricated microreactors is planned for the 2030s.

[–] Semi-Hemi-Demigod@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Ah, plans! Well then, that's a guarantee! No way they'll hit unexpected roadblocks and go massively overbudget like every other nuclear project

[–] CherenkovBlue@iusearchlinux.fyi -1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

You should educate yourself about GenIV reactors (designs, supply chains, costs...) before you embarrass yourself.

I don't need to add to the embarrassment that is the nuclear industry

[–] IchNichtenLichten@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

The cost of electricity from those is even more expensive than from conventional nuclear.
