    Both make heat. Both need heat exchangers. Heat exchangers and the surrounding facility is the majority of the construction. I wish people would stop blabbering without knowing a thing on power production.

      Go look at a video on ITER and see how hard that will be to fit inside a fission plant.

      If ITER is a success they were planning to make a bigger one for commercial use.

        So you make a seperate building to enclose it while keeping the multiple tons of pipes and concrete used for the fission heat exchanger. Listen, this is both above our heads but the general concepts are applicable. Make the sites now and worst case scenario we keep using fission. Oh no.

          It’s certainly above both our heads but I did nuclear physics at university and I’m not sure what you are talking about is possible. I’m happy to see something otherwise but my limited understanding makes me think it is entirely impossible.

            Honestly that’s pretty cool that you studied nuclear physics, I’m not sure if it’s possible either but we still need the plants even if it isn’t. My understanding of energy production, even with a 7 year or longer time frame, tells me we need these facilities three decades ago but right now works too.

              Just to clarify I did a module on nuclear physics. I didn’t get a full degree in nuclear physics.
