Better off studying chem.E or mech.E if you want a job at a power station.

You won't learn practical skills doing theoretical anything.

>>59976689

I'd ask if there was any way I could get a job there.

>>59976739

>>59976689
depends on location. prone to earthquakes, safe inland? safe of.. snoskred? ;)

It would be depending on what ctry also. Nuclear is safe, hyped dangerous by mms and idiots putting these in tsunami prone & earth quake areas...

I'd had no prob, but the property price would. We have water turbines here enough, and more to take off. But given the load coming from all the electric cars etc.

also we got the uranium, undercover we gave iran 60 tonnes of regular uranium while everyone was busy xmassing.

Hope your grades are good, if you don't get into grade school you;re fucked.

5 miles is a pretty long way. The smoke isn't like most industrial pollution. I'll get more dangerous smoke from faggot smokers anyway.

A new nuclear power station would be super exciting. I'd be hype but probably sad that they won't give tours.

>>59976689
I would move at least 100 miles from it.

Really confused because that would put it in the middle of my city, and there's already a nuclear power plant 50 miles outside of town.

No problem since nuclear plants don't pollute

>>59976994
Well no actually.

Two cooling towers and some buildings could be many things.

>>59977229
What are you trying to get to? Sounds like you are just spewing random shit just have a conflict.

5 miles? Fine with me. No natural weather or tectonic disasters occur where I own my home, and it's the safest most efficient way to produce electricity. Would create jobs and booty fluster libcucks, what's not to love?

Glad, nuke power is great for our state.

t. connecticuck

Sell my house to isis

My area would probably be good for one. No risk of earth quakes or other natural disasters, but we do sit on top of a huge aquifer so if it might pollute that I'd strongly oppose it.

I live about 5 miles from one (if you make a straight line from my house to the power plant) about 15 miles by roads because it goes over a body of water to Hutchinson island off the Florida coast. No complains. Lived here my entire life. Energy bills are cheaper than most areas

Wonder why the fuck Hydro Quebec has decided to build a Nuclear Power Plant when they just closed the last one they had because they are money pits compared to the money prints that are dams here.

I live about 20 miles from one, it's pretty cool.

Absolutely fine.

It's the safest way to produce electricity, by several orders of magnitude

>inb4 muh radiation

Coal power plants have released more radiation.

>inb4 muh chernobyl

Horribly designed first gen reactor built, maintained, and operated by the soviets. It was not a failure of nuclear power, it was a failure of training.

>inb4 muh Fukushima

Fun Fact: the plant would have been torn down and rebuilt as a more modern, safer design years before the accident, but the project was constantly blocked by retarded anti-nuke nutters.

If the new design had been in place, no failures would have occurred after the earthquake and subsequent tsunami.

The failure of the Fukushima plant was caused by the same people who were saying nuclear power was dangerous. It's actually pretty hilarious, in a really dark way.

Of course, the MSM quietly swept that part of the story under the rug, because it doesn't fit the narrative.

>>59977561

no shit, nuclear energy is really really safe i swear! Its not a quick attempt at quick cheap energy with the cost of destroying our earth. nothing EVER bad happens,

That would be nuke plant #2 in the area so I don't care. Fun fact: Nuclear power plants put out only a fraction of the radiation that coal plants do.

>>59976689
I'd shrug and wonder how they managed to slap one on the arkansas river in the middle of the city.

It wouldn't concern me. I've visited nuclear power plants before. They are extremely safe (and clean). The only real issue is the radioactive waste.

>>59977371
Are you talking about the Hanford nuclear reservation? That wasn't a nuclear power plant.


Otherwise, yes, you're right. Nuclear power plants built before we even put man on the moon are generally dated and if they're seriously still in service, need to be decommissioned. As long as you can account for natural disasters as a factor, there's no reason to not build a modern design.

>>59977716
>If the new design had been in place,
It even didn't need new design. All they needed to do was waterproof back-up generator room. But things are always done by lowest bidder you know.

I would be very mad. I'd try to sell my house before the land value crashes too much. No way I'm living near one of them. Judging by this thread, there are plenty of gullible cucks ready to move in, so I might still get a good deal.

Ontario here. I would probably assume it is going to be another multi-Billion dollar boondoggle by our corrupt as shit Liberal government.

Safety-wise I'm not too worried less radiation released than from coal power plants, it would probably be safer since it means they're replacing our aging nuclear plants. Geographically it's a pretty perfect place: far inland away from tsunamis, and at the dead center of the North American craton - the ground hasn't moved here for 600 Million years

Following this month's intense rainfall in the north of England an Environment Agency alert has highlighted the flood risk to the crumbling nuclear waste dump adjoining Sellafield in Cumbria, writes Marianne Birkby - a dump which remains in use despite its condemnation by the EA in 2005 due to its likely destruction by rising seas

finally fulfill my dream of become homer simpson

but seriously I'd move. my house is like right on a fucking fault line and there's decent earthquakes every month or so

also speaking of earthquakes, when I was a kid I always trusted the ground, you know like walking by caves or cliffs, or not being afriad of buildings falling on you because you always think of the ground as like this solid unmovable thing

anyway there was this fucking massive earthquake where my house went 0.5 meters up and down up and down the whole fucking earth just shaking it's so powerful I was thrown into my window and smashed the glass with my face and burnt myself (boiling noodles), and what happens right is there will be an earthqake, and then suddenly the grond will start erupting with like this sand shit it pushed up the living room, cut the street ruined everything it just squirts out the ground like this wet sand

anyway if that happened near a nuclear plant we'd all be fucked. nobody knew there was a faultline there either

The initial investment cost is approximately equal to ten years of operation. Many businessmen don't want to see that kind of a return, plus, it could be closed at any time because hippies complain, so it's a fairly slow return, and fairly high risk. Not because of the dangers of nuclear energy, but because of the dangers of politicians.

Political regulations also are part of the high cost. So there could be more, if the government would make it cheaper for there to be more, and offer some investor protections.

It's no secret that Cumbria in northern England has been repeatedly hit by torrential rain and wind this month.

But there has been little media focus on what this means for nuclear waste buried at Drigg, the UKs 'Low Level Waste Repository', located near the Sellafield nuclear site on the Cumbrian coast.

approximately half of the containers at the tops of stacks ... Corrosion, sometimes fully penetrating, is present in some container lids at the tops of stacks.

"Discharges to the air of radioactive gases are ongoing. According to the British Geological Society the Drigg site is above a regional aquifer. It is also likely to be destroyed by coastal erosion in 500 to 5,000 years (computer modelling can be wrong either way). Much of the waste is long lived and high risk."

Drigg must stay open, says nuclear industry

Keeping the Drigg site open for continued dumping and extending the capacity of the site is something the nuclear industry are keen to do, seemingly at any cost to the environment. This plan is titled: 'Low Level Waste Repository Site Optimisation and Closure Works'.

Even the title of the application is hugely misleading. The date for 'closure' is set at 2079. So Drigg would continue to accept nuclear waste for more than six decades to come.

The site would be 'capped'. Again this is misleading: to 'cap' a nuclear dump is akin to putting a cap on a fizzy lemonade bottle which has holes in the bottom.

High level waste from reactors amounts to less than 1% of all present in the US you gorilla. If your country stopped spending billions on defense per year, 99% of your radiation woes would disappear.

Not only that, there are strategies in place to recycle and maintain what can't be recycled indefinitely.

>>takes millions of years to become non-active
>safe and clean friends :)

yeah but you just dig it down deep in the mountain, it's not like this isn't going on down below.. reaches us in of radon gas.

I wouldn't be very worried about radiation but I'd be unhappy that such a large industrial site was coming to my area. During construction there would be a large amount of heavy vehicles coming and going for years, fucking up the roads (road damage isn't linear by weight), making noise, etc. Once it was completed, there would be traffic generated by the large number of employees and ongoing maintenance. And since utility rates are usually set over a large area, I wouldn't even get a discount for living nearby. If there's a shoe factory down the street from you, usually they'll have a factory outlet (a true one, not one of those Alabama shopping center deals) where you can get shoes at a deep discount. That doesn't happen with electricity. Guess if I was opening an electric smelting plant, there would be some benefit.

Radionuclides with highest activities in the inventory include 3H, 241Pu, 137Cs, 234U and 90Sr, 238U and 232Th."

This represents a cocktail of relatively short-lived, intensely radioactive species such as the tritium, caesium, strontium and plutonium with half lives measured in years and decades, with daughters such as americium 241 that's dangerous for centuries, mixed in with uranium and thorium isotopes with half lives as long as 14 billion years.

Serious degradation already under way

But the waste has been dumped at the site with little or no regard to either short or long term hazards. From 1940 to 1988 chemical and radioactive wastes was simply 'tumble tipped' into trenches.

Ugly. This is the one by me

We should paint it yellow

Its not corruption, its just plain incompetence.

Governments are really bad at project management so they just throw money at something and try and steamroll through every retarded problem that they caused by not carefully planning.

Also to be fair, the power stations in Ontario were revolutionary experimental reactors when they were built, if you just pulled a design off the shelf and flew in people who knew what the were doing it would be a different story

Is it going to teleport onto the surface?

It means I could stop working in Pickering and have to drive less than a half hour to get to work.

I would be happy that a clean source of energy was being put into use so close to my home.

>>59976689
be glad the power infrastructure would be upgraded in the vicinity of my home

>>59976689
Happy, my energy bill would be next to nil

Nuclear power is good in literally every capacity and it's only con is the waste disposal which will eventually be found to be another power source all it's own within the next 30 years and then it will be a power creator who's only negative is making a secondary power source

>>59979637
We're still cleaning up three mile island. US reactors tend to operate by minimal safety standards in order to cut overheard cost. Most of our reactors are also stupidly outdated.

My dream is to be energy minister of Ontario in a conservative government

Presumably you would accomplish these things by throwing money at them?

>>59982258
So almost 40 years ago?

>>59982258
>Most of our reactors are also stupidly outdated.
Because faggot anti-nukes won't let anyone build new ones, so the IAEA has to go in and declare old reactors as safe since people also bitch about coal plants.

Decisions need to be made and soon, because solar and wind just won't cut it. The capacity simply isn't there.

Switch your house to led lights anons. Save the world

>>59976689
relatively ok, there is one within an hour of me, if it had a serious meltdown or other catastrophe my town would probably be in the dead zone anyway. They've been doing a good job of not fucking up.

>>59976689

I'd be on board with cheap power.

My area is actually a prime spot for nuclear.

>>59976689
Fine. Modern nuclear power plants are pretty safe.

You experience less background radiation exposure from living within 20 miles of a nuclear power station then you do from living within the same radius of a coal or gas power station.

I live in southern california and there is literally one less than 15 miles from me. It doesn't scare me, although I do worry more about earthquakes because of it. I think it's being shut down though

>>59976689
i used to live near this magical pair of tits

I'd love for my government to start putting money into researching things like Thorium Reactors or even just building Uraniam Reactors considering how much of the shit we have out here. It'd be a much better use of it than selling it for two cents to China then getting the nuclear waste back.

>>59983393
>>59983331
that's where i live

>>59976689
Cheer, as my idiotic govt would finally realise nuclear power IS NOT A BAD IDEA.

Srsly, there is yet to be created a single nuclear plant in Poland.

>>59983393
I drove past those in GTA V today. :^)

I have a coal power plant about as far away from me and sometimes it makes the air smell like phenol. Fuck that shit, I would rather go nuclear.

>>59976689
sweet high paying nuclear jobs bruh

>>59976932
Lies

>>59978223
>your argument failed to include my fantasies

*tip* indeed.

I actually clicked back to this to see if somebody had even tried to make a coherent argument. I can only blame myself.

>>59976689
Good luck building a nuclear power plant in a mountain range faggot.

>>59982378
all it would take to cripple "renewables" is to STOP throwing money at them

>>59976689
If we got the accompanying drop in electricity costs, replacing all the extremely expensive green taxes and subsidies then I'd be happy for it. They're extremely safe outside of natural disasters, you're more likely to die to about a billion other things.

The problems with nuclear aren't local, like coal, they're global.
>nuclear waste
>uranium competition
>potential bombs everywhere
>etcetera

The only issue with having nuclear right next door is if it fucks up, but that's only going to happen if they build it wrong (unlikely, most bad npp were built in the 60s to 80s), if there's a disaster (which means only build them in the middle of plates) or if they hire idiots (plausible, gotta get them minorities in STEM).

With that in mind, Japan and other places on fault lines should be looking into geothermal, not nuclear. Australia is the perfect candidate for nuclear, the fuel is local, plenty of places to dump waste and major earthquakes are almost nonexistent. But Australia has only one reactor which makes medical isotopes instead of energy.

Not my land. Not my business.

It would be arrogant to think I have a right to stop them.

>I'm a spartley spooligan
>the post

Im totally ok with this
I like nuclear stuff in all its glory
Especially nice if its cutting edge breeder tech being build, means we are actually pushing the progress

>>59976689
Amass enough money to bribe them to move plans to new area. Or hire people to make the area too fiscally difficult to construct on.

>>59976689
Sweet! More work for us to build it since oil is shit and more maintenance work

>>59981351
I was actually making reference the the $2 Billion the Libs spent to cancel the gas plants so they could save 2 seats in the election.

I have no doubt that if there is ever enough political will to replace one of our nuclear stations it wouldn't be too overpriced. Even if it goes 200% over budget it would probably still be cheaper than all the solar power being built with contracts promising them $0.80/kWh and much more reliable.

Would it make sense for Canada to build oil power plants? They have so much of it and it's cheap now.

>>59980360
You're only getting an accident if you build it in an earthquake-prone area or you use a reactor from the 40s or some shit. Modern reactors are crazy safe.

Nice map,almost as good as this one!

>>59976689
I live within a reasonable distance from 4 nuke plants.

I've got no fucks to give.

>>59982269
Why not just all nuclear?

>>59980360
Traditional coal factories are historically much more dangerous than nuclear power plants.

>>59976689
If I lived in a more rural area I would be glad

I would just change my engineering course from computer to nuclear or mechatronic, I assume most engineering courses would be useful there

>>59976689
they look like shit so I wouldn't be happy if that's what you ask

I would be thrilled. We desperately need to build new reactors with modern designs. Plus it would help the local economy a lot.

>>59984169
And nothing bad happens because of it
Imagine if we had one far inland and housing was provided for workers and their families

It would be like Cadbury and their towns they made

>>59976689
As long as it's design follows modern reactor principles I'd be fine with it.

Cooling towers. They are just giant heat exchangers to get rid of excess heat. They cloud they emit is just steam.
Nothing dangerous happens in the towers, the reactors are inside those big concrete domes you see near the main building.

Nuclear reactors themselves are very complex, but ultimately all they do is generate heat, which is then used to convert water into steam in order to spin turbines and generate electricity.

why is it we abandoned lmfrs (liquid metal fast reactors)? I know there are a few out there, but by now it should be a much more viable option, and if i'm not mistaken they can even run on fuel that would be considered "spent" in a water cooled reactor, you could literally run them off the waste of other reactors and the resulting waste would be much less radioactive. Of course there are dangers to using liquid sodium but the dangers don't seem to outweigh the dangers of using inefficient water reactors that produce tons of highly radioactive waste. Of course this is just my impression I'm not a nuclear engineer by any stretch of the imagination. just seems to be a technology that was either prematurely abandoned or deliberately suppressed imo.

>>59976689
Perfectly fine

As long as we put the reactors in Oklahoma and the waste in Nevada I'm ok with it.

>>59976689
We already have hydro power in town, why do we need nuclear power?

Fine. I'd have no problems with it.

>>59976689
I'm in California so we'd stall it forever until I'm dead then who cares.
