Nuclear energy isn't threatened by this. It's threatened by the fact that it's impossible to build one at a profit.

That's why factory fabricated microreactors are such a cool concept!

[–] IchNichtenLichten@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

The cost of electricity from those is even more expensive than from conventional nuclear.

And by the time that concept becomes reality we'll either be running 100% renewable energy or dead from climate change

[–] CherenkovBlue@iusearchlinux.fyi -2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Nope. Deployment of factory fabricated microreactors is planned for the 2030s.

[–] Semi-Hemi-Demigod@kbin.social 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Ah, plans! Well then, that's a guarantee! No way they'll hit unexpected roadblocks and go massively overbudget like every other nuclear project

You should educate yourself about GenIV reactors (designs, supply chains, costs...) before you embarrass yourself.

I don't need to add to the embarrassment that is the nuclear industry
