Nuclear waste from small modular reactors

Chalmers said that on television today.
But this conversation is going nowhere.
I will now bow out.

Gentlemen, the worlds on fire as we speak & you guys are still debating small nuclear reactors? Leave things like that to albo. Surely he'll find some time to solve such issues, whenever he stops from touring overseas.

Albo is a goat and waaaayyyyyy out of his league where global issues are involved.....The Americans are having fun with him, the Chinese are using him as a play thing and I doubt that the rest of the world has even heard of him.

Gentlemen I think we're straying off topic?
Maybe you could design a giant hamster wheel for the back yard, hook it up to a genni and some batteries and solve all our problems?

It'll keep you fit while burning off some nervous energy plus the odd kilo

Hamster wheel sounds like a good idea there moredeep, but running round in circles for hrs to no end, not knowing whether one is coming or going, might lead to one believing that they're hamster & no longer human.

Dunno about you blokes but I don't know if I'm coming or going most of the time anyway

With the world in turmoil, not knowing what to believe or not believe anymore, I can't blame you for thinking that way Jim.
To think tackling covid-19 & changes to climate would have been more than enough for any a nation to handle, but now war after war?
What is this world coming to?
Anyways, I've strayed off the main topic & enough from me.

Kon

And don't forget the new threat of AI, we won't know what to believe anymore especially when everyone has a hair trigger
and will go OFF at the drop of a hat ,,,,oh happy days ,oops I strayed off

If SMRs are not viable then we will never have them. If they do prove viable then they are going to arrive in Australia whether we like it or not

"CHERNOBYL History of A Tragedy"

This a is a book worth reading if you are a person who thinks Nuclear power generation is best left alone.
    The book gives a very good insight into what can happen to the human body during and after a nuclear power generator Melt down.
But what surprised me the most was what seemed to be a lack of understanding  by the Plant operators of the dangers inherent in the generator, how it worked and how it was constructed.
    Nobody knew how the melt down occurred, (or maybe they were afraid to say anything) what to do or or how to fix it.
