Japan Building 22 New Coal Power Plants

Sorry sonny, don't bring a knife to a shootout, that's the best advice you'll get this week. I study nuclear technology advancements assiduously, I know about MSR, thorium, LFR, BWR, LWR and pebble bed types of reactors. I also know about fusion reactors and the huge leap forward that has just been achieved. That you don't recognise that says much about you. You need to read some basic 101 type material, how about that?

Sorry sonny.
Bragging online means nothing.
You should know that.
And I am the Postmaster General!!!

So, by your definition?
No one should even post in this thread unless they are read up on whatever you claim they need to be read up on.

Regarding Lead-Cooled Fast Reactors (LFR), they have certain theoretical advantages over say fluoride or sodium cooled ones, but haven't read of any companies actively pursuing the technology.

And you did not answer my question.

Which is safer?
1) this reactor?
2) or a lead/lead-bismuth reactor?

This from the guy whom starts threads about road signs being misspelled.
And then wanders off into some incoherent blather about politics based on that ONE sign.

Yep ... and this is from a clown who babbles and adds nothing to topics ... methinks you are a chink

That's nice.
But I still don't see how this would prevent a Fukushima event.
If the water pressure is lost?
I find it very hard to believe that the water located in/near the reactor is going to stay cool enough to keep the reactor under control if power is lost and the rods cannot be removed.

I think the future is lead or lead-bismuth fast reactors.

They have TONS of advantages.
Not the least of which is that they require NO power or outside water to remain safe.
And it is almost impossible for them to 'explode'.
If Fukushima happened to a lead cooled, fast reactor?
Nothing would have happened.
The lead would have cooled.
Now - the reactor itself might have been damaged beyond repair (definitely if it was lead-bismuth).
But that is it.
NO escaping radiation because lead is a natural protector from radiation.
If the radiation cools and hardens? It still keeps radiation in and stops the radioactive process.
No hydrogen explosions.
No escaping radiation.
No external contamination.
Even if there is a leak in the reactor?
The lead will quickly harden and seal the reactor.

I believe it was the tsunami that destroyed the plant.

Oh right.
And you are racist too boot.

And in only 8 months.
You have averaged almost 20 posts per day.

So you have no life either.

That's too bad gramps.

Have a nice day now.

Well, the tsunami destroyed parts of the plant that led to the plant's destruction.

I'm sure it seemed like a great idea to have a plant on the shoreline. NY just shut down a 60 year old plant that just happened to be on a fault line.

Thankfully, we don't get many earthquakes here.
