[–] GBU_28@lemm.ee 8 points 2 years ago (1 child) It is not hard due to lack of knowledge, it is hard due to politics, and the fact that they require trained / skilled builders and operators. So it's a cold start problem. As we aren't making many, we don't have much trained staff. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Semi-Hemi-Demigod@kbin.social -1 points 2 years ago (1 child) Haven't we been building reactors for decades though? Are all those guys dead along with the COBOL programmers? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] GBU_28@lemm.ee 7 points 2 years ago (1 child) We have documentation, but you.need to have construction crews working to keep the specific routines and needs sharp. Sure they have people "ready" to work on such projects but it takes significant time to tool and train up, even for the "ready" folks because they don't do these jobs often. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Semi-Hemi-Demigod@kbin.social -1 points 2 years ago (1 child) Are they significantly different from normal specialized plumbing/electrical/heavy construction work? Weird, complex things get built all the time these days and I'm curious how much different pouring concrete for a reactor is compared to, say, a bridge. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Habahnow@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 years ago How many dozens of years will the area around the bridge be inhospitable if the concrete is not poured, and mixed correctly? Who would take the risk doing the work except for people that are highly trained or extremely ignorant? There's a lot of specialized work involved with the whole process including creating the reactors, which until recently, have mostly been specialized designs for each plant. Lots of articles about nuclear energy and it's problems can be found online if you're interested in reading more. permalink fedilink source parent
