woah, nuclear thread without me? come on /sci/

are people still praising LFTR as the second coming without realistically addressing the downsides again? that's never fun

U233 minimum critical mass says no. 16kg of raw 233 is your baseline i believe, and that's even WITH graphite moderation.

now, the plant itself would be about the size of an apartment complex (the entire plant, processing substation and all), and put out a damn sightly 500mW, which is like the peak watt of most cities and then some.
just slap one in the suburbs and light the entire metro area. sit back and smoke a cigar

COMP SCI MAJOR HERE
i dun goofed
i miscalculated my required hours until graduation, thinking i needed to completely 62 hours in two semesters, which was impossible. so i extended my graduation date by another year

i just re-ran the numbers to build a class list for this coming semester when i realized my blunder, i didn't need 62 hours in 4 semesters, i only needed 33!

so now i'm stuck with a 2013 graduation date, and only three classes per semester required.

fortunately this gives me lots of extra time for reading all kinds of extra books, learning more languages, making a fuck ton of projects on the side, and in general making my portfolio amazing. perhaps even delve into my more treasured topic of nuclear engineering

is this good or bad?
