That is of u308 of course [bigwhistle]
Did you mean you may flatten a Tesla[biggrin] Just kidding. Add at $2 per litre it would not be cheap to recharge at all mate.
As far as I'm concerned the sooner this country gets its head out of the Green sand and builds nukes the better. Then there would be no 'perceived' need to blight the landscape with bloody great fans and mirrors simply to virtue signal. But Governments of any stripe like limelight, not achievements. They know they will be gone before any nuke got completed and there would be no "pat on the back" grandstanding.Quote:

Ahhh Tins , you know that fossil fuel has outdated itself , leaving the power generators what alternative? Solar....in several modes , Wind , Pumped Hydro , Thermal (stored) and Battery to close down the old "rotating base load" argument. There are other forms of alternative power being used around the world where it is practical.
Seriously , if nuclear power had a chance in Australia , the money would be being spent here.
The reason for the lack of nuclear power generation in this country is political, not economical. Nuclear plant construction was banned by all States, and Federally, for reasons I'm not going to debate as i'm enjoying being back here and don't want any problems with the admin. But if the bans were lifted companies would be fighting to get the rights.Quote:

This was probably 15-20 years ago at least.
you summed it up beautifully....hyperthetical.
May have been hypothetical, but they couldn't do it anyway..... because.... politics. However, the way he answered in a heart beat indicated he would've if he could've.
How can anyone pooh pooh nuclear energy, when our solar system relies on a nuclear reactor? :spudnikwhat:
Starting a chain saw can kick back and other clear how not to or self vasectomy method?
