New Nukes in Washington State


Not happy about some new nuclear plants they are building in Washington State, these will be 320 megawatt modular pellet reactors which are BAD because although the fuel is contained in ceramic which they claim can't melt, that ceramic containment makes reprocessing impossible. This is even worse than existing light water reactors that maybe extract .5% of Uraniums' energy potential with the help of reprocessing and then leave a million years worth of radioactivity.

What we need to be building is liquid salt reactors that over their lifetime can extract 200x as much energy from the fuel and leave only SHORT TERM waste lasting at most 300 years not millions of years.

But with a libtard brain-dead gov just greedy to soak up whatever money he can get from the libtards in Washington DC's "Build Back Broker" plan, this is what we get. A plant that is not only going to leave our children financially broke but without fuel for the future and a legacy of radioactive waste they can't get rid of. Thanks Jay Inslee!
