Any links to Trumps racism?

A couple questions from a layman lurker? 1. Is the following takeaway correct? Confirming that any given concept (ie FRC, Polywell) works or doesn't work will not likely tell you if another concept works. Each concept must be built and tested? 2. If Helion accomplishes net power at 90 cents or less ...

 From my email subscription. When I went to the TAE site the link to the article didn't work. FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Occidental Low Carbon Ventures and TAE Technologies Explore Fusion Energy for Direct Air Capture Facilities HOUSTON (June 11, 2024) — Oxy Low Carbon Ventures (OLCV), a subsidiary of O...

What does SNF mean?

As for our waste fuel rods do you see any paracical use whatsoever in a MSR of any type?

Quick background: A couple pages in and my layman self was asking about the Elysium Molten Salt Reactor concept. I forgot to cut to the chase by asking what you all think a MSR fleet would look like. The goals would be to 1. Close the fuel cycle. 2. "Burn up" our waste fuel. What configuration(s) wo...

Sounds like a scam. I have no expertise in fusion obviously. Just going off the presentation.

With that in mind would you guys post what your profession, education and experience are. I want to post this thread to Twitter to hammer home that point. I wish you good luck for the effort, but from my past experience with those type of people it will be hard to even make them understand that the...

Check the attachment. The colored bar segments was from M&W and the grey was the info on buffering that I added. It gives quite a different truth, but convincing the laymen about it is a whole odyssey. I still remember in a dinner few years ago arguing for one hour with two green brain ladies that ...

Yeah I keep the auto spell off. It's a real pain. According to this lady, who seems to attempt to be neutral, the "levelized" cost of nuke plants is five times that of wind or solar. First thing. What is levelized cost? Second thing. Is she correct? If so I wonder if that is the U.S. building one of...

I should mention that I am a layman and not an engineer or a scientist.

In layman's terms and regarding your post a couple posts back: Are you saying the Elysium concept would be best implemented in conjunction with other MSR, what is the word, "configurarions"?

Ok if I follow this technical-ese then, when considering the timescales, we are better off waiting for commercial fusion rather than develop any MSR?

Somebody mentioned gen 4 fission. To me that would be a good pragmatic way forward until commercial fusion is available. For the U.S. and other countries that already have fission plants the Elysium MSR makes the most sense to me. It's a "waste" burner and would be made of stainless. Seems the easie...
