/sci/ - Science & Math

Anything nuclear is bad! You can make all the videos you want, but until you somehow change that knee jerk reaction, no one is going to watch them.

Here from /g/ because I'm an idiot...

I remember reading about nuclear waste management on wikipedia about 5 months ago, and saw something about prototype plants in Europe that uses nuclear transmutation to process nuclear waste into safe waste, and generate a small amount of power at the same time.

Does anyone know about this? I can't find a reference to it anymore, is it bogus, was I just on crack that day? Does such a plant really exist? What's it called?

lets have a serious nuclear energy thread.
Do you think some countries should stop using this kind of energy? ill put an example, in Spain we produce around 16-20% of our energy from nuclear plants, but we also produce around 20% from wind power.
Do you think that countries with low percentaje of Nuclear should try to use it less?

ive got some questions about nuclear power.
1. How much would a small reactor cost to build?
2.How much time would it take to build a small reactor?
3. How much power would a homemade reactor give out?

I overheard some people talking about how they were all against the use of Nuclear technologies.

Is this a legitimate cause to be a part of? I thought they were just being ignorant.

Okay, /sci/ i know you guys hate engineers. But, what about nuclear engineering? How do you feel about that?
