L’Istituto Paul Scherer sta collaborando con Copenhagen Atomics per testare il loro nuovo reattore a sali fusi a base di torio a Würenlingen a partire da quest’anno.
Sebbene la maggior parte delle persone abbia una reazione molto negativa alla tecnologia nucleare, sappiamo anche che abbiamo davvero bisogno di nuove centrali elettriche basate su combustibili non fossili. Stiamo aspettando l’energia da fusione per molto tempo e non è ancora affatto pronta.
Non sono un esperto di tecnologia nucleare e il marketing fa sembrare che non sia così pericolosa.
Quindi mi interessa la tua opinione (ma non la tua reazione istintiva): cosa ne pensi?
What's your opinion on the new nuclear test facility in Würenlingen?

Thorium remains me the norvegian tv show :Occupied.
I think it can be a solution while waiting for fusion.
Nice that research is happening here. From videos I’ve seen of the nuclear waste processing facility here, it appears standards and competence are high.
Thorium reactors would be a nice and save fission technology with an abundance of fuel. But I think it’s too late for this to be useful.
Solar energy is exponential for 50 years, doubling every 2-3 years. We are only a a couple of doublings away from covering the global energy needs.
No one is apparently seeing this coming, but I think it will kinda make everything else obsolete. Because of overproduction even cheap inefficient batteries will be competitive with conventional power plants.
There is simply no way nuclear can compete anymore.
I found this funny:
Why is the experiment not being conducted in Denmark?
In Denmark, there is no legal framework for the operation of nuclear facilities, i.e. no competent licensing and supervisory authority that could independently review and approve the construction and operation of such a test facility.
Good, we need more research and people with know how regarding nuclear energy.
The past 30 years of anti nuclear hysteria have decimated the industry, research and workforce.
