When asked about the federal government’s role, 41% of Americans say it should encourage the production of nuclear power.
Let’s get those new construction contracts signed!

You’re about to play another imbecilic game where you try and swap around enrichment fractions and burnup rates and pretend that tails assay is 0%
You need ~67500t to produce 9EJ in a large scale burner reactor as evidenced by 67500t being consumed to produce 9EJ in a year in lrge scale burner reactors.
Do that 90 times and you have produced 810EJ or a little over 1.3 years of primary energy.
Use that electricity more efficiently than fossil fuels and it lasts a couple of years to cover everything.
Put it in an SMR and it lasts about 60% as long.
Did it ever occur to you that you come off like as asshole?
I don’t get this part:
followed by this part:
It sounds like your mixing up 90 years of power with 1.3 years of primary energy. (Also why are you now comparing to primary energy? You made a stink about this earlier.) The answer is beginning to look more like 100 years if we only mine virgin stuff (no recycling of fuel, no dismantling of weapons grade fuel, etc).
Where is your “a few years”? You don’t mean using the electricity produced as primary energy do you?
You’re getting not respecting you and being an asshole confused. You need to earn respect by not pulling idiotic word games.
Just like you can’t comprehend the distinction between electricity and energy,
And I don’t have to use your tortured intentionally wrong methodology.
6e6 tonnes. 80-100TJ/tonne in an SMR or 140TJ/tonne in a LWR. 300EJ of final energy per year. 6e6 * 140e12 / 300e18 = 2.8 years.
Very simple. There aren’t tens of millions of tonnes of weapons grade U or spent fuel lying around so both are irrelevant.
You’re attempting to start that gish gallop about breeding and re-encrichment again. Both are irrelevant to the topic.
Yikes! Take a chill pill homie. Or buy some weed if it’s legal in your region.
Ah the siren call of a troll who has completely run out of moves. Thanks for the apology and acknowledgement you were bullshitting.
Eat shit and die. You’re peddling misinformation.
Do you get paid for the bit after you break down and start hurling abuse and death threats, or just the bit where you were pretending 9/600 is 0.1?
You do eat shit breakfast or only after pretending 100 years is 3 years?
Read the thread above, chum. Your lies was thoroughly dismantled.
