Nope, your website still says "emit no greenhouse gases". I'm not reading beyond the first sentence till you correct that. If you make a basic mistake so early on I can't trust the rest. My Blog is the amateurish effort of a retired engineer who seeks to promote Molten Salt Reactor (MSR) ...

OK, that doesn't conform to the way most other energy life-cycle analyses are carried out! (e.g., see this , or better still this one from Oz ). The indicator of "metric tonnes of steel per peak megawatt generating capacity" is meaningless because that doesn't give you any idea of the lif...

Yes! But it's a 20 page long scientific paper, by a Professor of Physics, but don't let that put you off, since it could help your presentation skills on energy issues: http://pb-ahtr.nuc.berkeley.edu/papers/ ... _input.pdf

I only got as far as the first sentence on your website. How do you mine uranium without emitting any greenhouse gas? The same way you mine the iron ore and coal (to make steel) and produce the (diabolically CO2 emitting) cement, for the concrete, to install a wind turbine - 54 X worse than nuclear...

PRISM only produces 300MW of power, and at that rate one single reactor will never finish processing the uranium stockpile this millennia -- unless of course they're planning a lot more One "PRISM power block" produces 622 MWe, so 27 of these would provide our 16 GW of 'New Nuclear' elect...
