Googling "breeder reactor" will show you plenty of peer reviewed papers and findings from past experimental reactors that can answer your questions. Apart from that, the point of the technology is obviously not to replace renewables, it's to Phase out coal and oil as fast as possible. Get rid of the nuclear waste we already accumulated (by turning it into energy). Especially point 2, you are obviously and rightfully worried about nuclear waste - breeder reactors are the solution, the only one we currently know of. What else do you suggest we should do with that waste? Store it for millennia? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [+] Soundhole@lemm.ee 1 point 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent [–] Claidheamh@slrpnk.net 4 points 2 years ago (1 child) Kyle Hill has a very educational video about this if you're interested: https://youtube.com/watch?v=4aUODXeAM-k https://piped.video/watch?v=4aUODXeAM-k permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] PipedLinkBot@feddit.rocks [B] 1 point 2 years ago (1 child) Here is an alternative Piped link(s): https://piped.video/watch?v=4aUODXeAM-k Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
