Gregory's Server@Jarska96 @EUCommission The ever lasting problem with Nuclear power is its waste. There was talk about salt reactors being able to burn uranium further. Skimming through the summary on page 277: "A few major technical and non-technical challenges in the development
of MSRs are still to be solved prior to the scale-up of the technology and its
deployment" -> https://www.iaea.org/publications/14998/status-of-molten-salt-reactor-technology
Fusion? Well...: https://www.livescience.com/physics-mathematics/worlds-largest-nuclear-reactor-is-finally-completed-but-it-wont-run-for-another-15-years
@jonnyDumb @EUCommission Firstly, the waste is not that kind of a problem. It can be stored safely underground, why do you think in Finland we have the Onkalo spent nuclear fuel repository? Also it can be reused.
Secondly, i don't necessarily mean nuclear power just using uranium. It's an existing way to produce energy that will kill off coal & gas. Salt reactors, SMRs, etc... are part of it.
And as for fusion... That's the eventual future of nuclear energy.
