what do you say /b/? fuck nuclear plants? they are freaking dangerous

They're dangerous because people like you rally so no one can build new ones so we're left with 50 year old shit storms.

Anyone who has your opinion of nuclear power is too stupid to argue with. Enjoy your thread.

>>557688141
>implying accidents cant happen in new ones
>implying you have any real sort of "control" on meltdowns (see fucking earthquake in fukushima)

>>557687894
They're really not dangerous. The issue is that, when there's a problem, it's a big problem.
But they're less dangerous than coal and natural gas, and take up less space than wind and solar.

>>557688561
i dont think you can compare things like making hundreds of squarekilometers unihabitable with normal explosions

>>557688796
That happened literally twice.
Meanwhile, coal plants blast out massive amounts of pollution, causing all sorts of health problems.

Not to mention there are other, safer designs in the works than the standard pressurized water reactor.

Should probably get rid of cars as well if you're concerned with cancer.

Nuclear power plants are generally built outside cities and suburbs. Where the only people who would be effected by the very minimal extra radiation are the people who voluntarily work there.

Nuclear power is clean and safe as long as a little bit of planning has gone into it, and if you're building a nuclear power plant, I'm guessing there's gonna be a lot of planning involved.

People don't just knock up a Power plant willy nilly.

>>557694256
erzähl mal so davon, wäre sehr interessant deine meinung dazu zu hören

They're considerably the safest and cleanest form of energy we can use, besides solar/wind/geothermal, but they require so much space, and are so inefficient that they are not an optimal source of energy at this current time

The Fukishima "meltdown" was a near-accident, the only explosion was a basic hydrogen explosion which really did nothing, only trace amounts of elements were released, and even then, only the immediate sorrounding area was in danger.

Bozo's like you are the reason why only the less-safe reactors are around really, and honestly the community behind them are concerned with safety above anything.

They really are the future of energy, people just piss their pants over the word "nuclear"

>>557694606
Well... as I see it, nuclear power as it is, is rather dangerous. The powerplants that are built until today and are still under construction do inherit a certain danger. Both melt-downs (Chernobyl and Fukushima) were ultimately caused by human failure and the principle of how the reactors were built. Also, radioactive waste is still a problem that has no solution and grows constantly.

Thorium reactors wouldn't be able to melt down and explode and rather die out. The problem is that it is underdeveloped and not applicable in it's current state of development.

Renewable energies have a high potential but since there are so many restrictions in building and using them they are not sufficent on their own. If someone is interested I'll try to explain them a bit more detailed.

Nuclear power plants are projected by specialists with high IQ and years of extremely hard studies, which are way wiser then you will ever be. If you don't trust them, then you have even less reasons to trust yourself, so you can go kill yourself already.

>>557695878
>2014
>impying science is not in the hands of large companies

>>557695840
yeah, please

The only reason we're not running on Thorium-based nuclear power today is back in the day when a decision needed to be made as to what type of material to use to develop nuclear power, the war gods of America much preferred the one that gave them the byproduct known as Plutonium. One guess as to why. So interest in Thorium was shelved, until recently.

>>557696068

>implying the laws of science change when in the hands of big business

>>557696068
Most renewable energy sources don't produce a steady amount of electricity like thermal powerplants (they can be geothermal, coal or nuclear. they are all thermal). Instead, they produce electricity depending on the current circumstances. wind turbines work only when there is wind, solar panels only when there is sun etc. The problem is that they produce more energy than can be used and we have no means to save all the energy that comes from them. So, to have energy when the circumstances for the renewables are not right, we would need to develop a possibilty to save the excess energy or use thermal power plants which are only restricted by fuel.

ITT

You're the reason technological advancement in nuclear power is so slow.

>>557696657
scientist are payed to (not) publish their results
its very easy nowadays to fake a statistic for example
so, yes, they do

>>557695840
>Renewable energies have a high potential
If that were true, entrepreneurs would be making shittons of money and business would be flourishing like silicon valley 2.0, not barely stumbling along only because of government incentives.

>>557697018
how 'bout good ol' solar roadways?
and energy from water (as an austrian, you know how awesome water is) is very steady, but there is very less left space for more plants...

>>557697018
As it is, we can't simply not use nuclear power plants as we are partly depended on them (thank the companies) but they are also bound to be a problem on the long run if we don't finally start developing the thorium technology but I think it will be the same with it as it is with the nuclear fusion. It just won't come to a result if it is not profitable.

>>557697404
If you would have done any thinking you would realize that renewable energies are an investment that pays itself off in time. You build it once and don't have to pay for anything afterwards and get free energy for as long as you keep the thing running. Think for a bit longer than your next weekend.

>>557698039
true, have myself some photovoltaik on my garage. shit is awesome, i only have to pay for the energy i use at night anymore
next investment will be some windy thing, any suggestions?

>>557697707
As I said, solar power is not as steady as it would be needed, not even the solar roadways. And you already said, hydropower is cool but has it's limit as it need rivers and there are limits as to how many we can build in one river. and austria is pretty much the best country for hydropower. in spain it would barely cover a fraction of what is needed.

>>557698628
Not without having been there, sorry. I wouldn't want to give bad advice in this matters and I would have to guess a shitload of things before I could start recommending something.

>>557699080
then tell me what i must consider for my decision please

and btw, do you personally think austria will legalize thorium when its development is very advanced?

>>557699317
da hier eh keiner mehr außer dir liest... ein windrad ist nicht unbedingt leise also solltest du genug abstand zu gebäuden haben in denen leute wohnen, sonst kriegst du die genehmigung nicht. Außerdem solltest du einen platz wählen auf dem genug wind geht. schau dir die hauptwindrichtung an und was da so rumsteht. bäume und gebäude verlangsamen den wind, mitten in einem haufen felder mitten im nirgendwo wärs ideal. ansonsten je höher desto schneller und unbehindeter der wind.

also kurz:
1. viel freie fläche rundherum
2. möglichst hoher punkt, hügel oder so

>>557699317
wegen thorium. kein plan. es ist noch nicht mal ansatzweise in einem brauchbaren stadium aber wenns in 10-20 jahren soweit ist vlt ja

Chernobyl is a wildlife haven. Amazing things start happening when places idyllic enough for people to colonise are released back to nature. Animals and trees don't even give a fuck about radiation levels that are sub - 'kill everyone within a month' levels.

As far as 'side effects' go, the occasional unplanned safe zone from human habitat destruction isn't that bad. It also improves carbon economy even further, despite the reactor no longer being operable. You know, on account of all the fucking trees and no fucking people.

>>557693556
You should probably move to a less shitty country.

>>557700179
mehr felder und freie fläche in windrichtung als hier geht nicht. hab mir erst ein zusätzliches grundstück als erweiterung gekauft. neben dem haus stehen leider etliche bäume, also würde es nur auf der neuen mauer gehen. bei uns geht verhältnismäßig viel wind, vor allem tagsüber. nachts eher weniger. denkst du es würde reichen um meinen bedarf komplett zu decken? mit 24 paneelen wäre mein bedarf kpmplett gedeckt, da ich dopelt so viel produziere wie ich verbrauche. aber in der nacht ist das dann eher sinnlos...

They have caused less deaths than solar energy. they are the second safest energy siurce and they are not bad whatsoever.

>>557703182
it would be exactly like that. they dont have enough time to drive away

>>557703301
naja... landes und europa weit gesehn ist es so das immer so viel strom produziert wird wie gebraucht wird und je nach dem kraftwerke hoch- bzw runtergefahren werden weil man es einfach nicht speichern kann. zum teil laufen windräder auch im leerlauf weil sie sonst das netz überlasten würden. Die einzigen sinnvollen methoden das zu speichern sind speicherkraftwerke die wasser mit dem überschuss den berg hochpumpen und wieder runterrinnen lassen in turbinen wenns gebraucht wird und das geht halt nicht überall.

Ein kohlekraftwerk zb kannst du mehr oder weniger anheizen und die produzieren dann halt in der nacht den strom wenn die erneuerbaren nichts oder zu wenig machen. Das ist zumindest der derzeitige stand. noch mehr fragen?

Damit sowas wirklich umgesetzt werden kann muss die regierung zumindest teilweise dahinterstehn aber die sitzt ja nur rum mim daumen im arsch und überlegt sich wie sie das bildungssytem noch mehr verscheißen können.

Nuclear is a very wide definition of various ways to generate electricity. Fusion is where my bets are at. Just a decade or two and we won't need new fission reactors. Fusion is safer, more efficient and leaves no heavy radioactive waste.

You could do it on a space station and send your waste into the sun.

You could do it on earth and simply drag your waste into space and send it into the sun.

You could just build a fucking LTFR like we started to in the 50s. and not worry about meltdowns either. ...but you can't weaponize it, so fuck that option then... unless you wanted a cheap, efficient, safe, and incorruptible energy source. ...who would want that?

Thorium needs to be converted to U-233. So thorium reactors are actually U-233 reactors, producing U-232, which has a half-life of 160.000 years.

With fusion you are left with mostly helium isotopes, which are very useful. If I remember correctly one of these isotopes was helium 3, which makes a durable fuel.

>>557706553

>>557693556
Chernobyl had no containment building; its reactor was not built inside a concrete dome built to withstand a 747 impact like literally every other nuclear plant on the planet. It also had several failsafes that were manually shut off for a test that the corrupt, ineffectual USSR government demanded, despite the aforementioned problems. Take your uneducated opinion elsewhere.

>>557708185

Nuclear power is the future, but current plants are out of date, and new ones are politically suicidal because Fukishima. Give it a few more years, then politicians will forget it about the issue. The oil industry bankrolls solar/wind because they own the subcontractors needed to refine and process the material use in solar/wind production. You're battling with money and power, not facts and or idealistic bullshit. There are people in play trying to seize some political power; while others are trying to maintain that power.

What about the obvious one:

>a large vehicle slams his brakes on the segments will shear off and hopefully decapitate people.


They had a demonstration where they gingerly drove one of those lightweight mini tractors on to it.

But the forces upon a road when a large articulated truck slams on his hydraulic brakes are literally millions of times greater.

It comes down to one simple thing

why cover roads in solar panels when you could just put them on the roof of houses?

seriously. It'd be so much fucking easier.


There may not be as much surface area, but do you have any idea how long it'd actually take to cover every road(or house for that matter)?

Once that's done just start putting a roof over parking lots and put solar panels on that.

The 4th video made me laugh.
Ive seen the claim before.

What they have identified there as some kind of product of radiation from the chernobyl disaster is simply the heartwood and sapwood in the tree.

Its common fucking knowledge to anyone who has ever done woodworking.
How did they get as far as making a video about it before realizing that simple fact?

Luddites don't have to know facts, they don't have to use logic, the only thing they have to do is convince their fellow luddites that (fill in the blank) is harmful and is poisoning the earth for our chillums!!!

Implying this /b/ro has to feel the consequences of some uneducated nigger in the 50's.

You're a piece of shit. We might as well make niggers slaves again with that attitude.

Uneducated kid.
