The PWR and BWR reactors built by GE et al are based on expensive and dangerous design decisions made by the US navy for their ships, and their weapons. For a better way check out energyfromthorium,com. Uranium and plutonium can also be used in molten salt reactors.martaehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12415986053928561697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-53246864840716464.post-29567929536930632372011-04-09T16:19:34.377-07:002011-04-09T16:19:34.377-07:00Had we moved to thorium reactors, we wouldn't ...Had we moved to thorium reactors, we wouldn't be having this discussion.

You are a voice crying in the wilderness. Nuclear power is a boondoggle and one of the most deadly menaces facing humankind. It makes no economic sense; mining, refining, milling and transporting uranium requires huge amounts of fossil fuels; and, it produces the most insidious and deadly toxins ever created. Read Dr. Helen Caldicott's "Nuclear Power is Not the Answer" for even more truth about this deadly menace.

That's six circuits. http://bit.ly/hAEWTIMartyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12535061710557436016noreply@blogger.com
