as for Uranium according to Google there is about 300 times more Uranium dissolved in the oceans than available Terrestrially but so far ZERO Uranium is COMMERCIALLY produced from seawater

i will admit though that as long as it is even theoretically possible to extract Uranium from Seawater that means it will always be available for cost-no-object applications such as a Mars Colony even if we mine and use all of Terrestrial Uranium to heat our homes at a low cost.

that removes one of my concerns.

i am still concerned about safety because i was in Kiev when Chernobyl happened and Chernobyl is just 60 miles from Kiev. nuclear accidents happen and power plants are always close to some dense population center ( which consumes the power ). idiots tell me that Chernobyl happened because Russians are dumb. I then ask them "what about Fukushima" - that was a Natural Disaster ! Nuclear Boomer arguments sound like arguments of Christians defending their retarded religion and come FROM SAME EXACT BOOMERS.

you boomers should be executed by injection of a fatal dose of radioactive material ( along with something fluorescent ) until you glow in the dark. you will be told that now you never need a flashlight so you can't say it wasn't for your own good. forever ( glowing ) is relative of course but you will glow for the next couple days or so and you will be dead long before you stop glowing, so it can be said you will be eternal light.

but anyway, my main issue is we're using Uranium to replace Coal which is literally harmless - far safer than Uranium. what problem are you solving by replacing Coal with Uranium ?

i will tell you. your problem is you want to appear smarter than liberals while pretending to oppose them while simultaneously cucking to them.

it's the good old " dems are the real raycis " argument that THE SAME BOOMERS use and these are the people who sold us down the tubes.

Coal is nightmare fuel.

Watt for watt, coal plants release 3x the radioactivity that nuclear plants do, through the sheer volume of their waste streams. Then there are particulates, CO2, sulphur oxides, and a vast quantity of ash nobody wants as its toxic to plants AND low-level radioactive.

Every day is 26th of April 1986 downwind of a coal plant. Especially in the developing world where most are built.

And then there's mining the stuff, a whole extra set of externalities.

By contrast the volume of waste fuel rods created by all human nuclear plants ever would fit in one olympic swimming pool, and represent a strategic reserve of future fuel once they've "cooled" for a few decades.

Nuclear fuel isn't commercially recovered from seawater only because we have higher ore grades on land. If demand rises, seawater recovery becomes competitive.

I recommend reading the full report on Chernobyl, you might be surprised how few Russians were involved. Pripyat was a hardship posting for graduates with only diversity to offer. In both Chernobyl and Fukushima, not merely gross incompetence but willful negligence and government-backed impunity ruled. And both are still better places to live than a former coal mine...

It's the decay rate that matters more, radioactive iodine will fuck you up, uranium in small quantities not so much.

So first step before considering it is to get rid of those hired for "what they are" & hire based on "what they can do" instead... Or one of these dipshits will have us all marinating in the nastier stuff...

And it still doesn't cover someone intentionally turning the thing into a dirty bomb with missiles or other explosives...

Hiring idiots at Maccas only affects those stupid or lazy enough to eat there... 😂

I wouldn't mind seeing conditions on a permit that required the CEO and his family live on premises at least 250 days of the year.

"Skin in the game" is the best antidote to politicised hiring.

😂 That could work.
