Nuclear Fuel Cycle...(see link)

Note that the U.S. is looking into 'Non-Aqueous' "Pyro-Processing" for our closed cycle approach and that is currently being funded...also based on previous work that was done on 'EBR-II' as part of the IFR program (you can Google it if you're interested).

'Baby Steps' on the road to sustainable energy from Nuclear Fusion, but progress nonetheless... [LINK] - TyroneIrish - 2:10pm 12/12/22 (40) [View All]
- What do you mean by saying Baby Steps? Even no details were given in this news, we know it's about - Eli - 8:34pm 12/12/22

- I'm all in favor of Nuclear power. My concern is how the waste is handled. [NT] - fredyo - 2:15pm 12/12/22
  - Especially now that Sam Brinton isn't there to handle it in a professional manner. - NedoftheHill - 10:12pm 12/12/22
  - Nuclear waste is much less of a concern with fusion. [NT] - iairishcheeks - 3:29pm 12/12/22

      - The Hanford Site tanks date back to WWII...times have changed when it comes to reprocessing spent [LINK] - TyroneIrish - 3:31pm 12/12/22
        The site is leaking. The poison will be there for 1000+ years. [NT] - fredyo - 3:45pm 12/12/22
        Again...that's WWII Hanford...not representative of today's processing, or tomorrow's... - TyroneIrish - 4:11pm 12/12/22
        So with 149 nuclear waste tanks, what do they do with the liquids they extract? [NT] - fredyo - 4:19pm 12/12/22
