We've got lots of unused ICBM's sitting around ;-) Kidding of course ;-) BTW How much waste is generated by fusion reactors? can't be too much. I believe that there's more radioactive medical waste generated than power plant radioactive waste. (but I could be wrong) No one is saying that we should quit treating people to reduce pollution are they? |

The question is how new this technology is really
There were electrical cars before combustion engine cars cam along Also these hybrid cars have been decades in development stage Lots of the companies have been trying to overcome probelms with pure electrical cars Always failing because of refueling problems, battery sizes and weight With a fuel cell and electrical car hybrid most problems are gone With oil and electrical hybrids as a medium term solution Toyota seems to be way ahead of the pack, Honda a good second with the rest scrambling to catch up Problem for most of the big companies is they have to get rid of old technologies, old plants, old workers, old bad image before they can start really down the road of the future with these new technologies They have for obvious reasons been dragging their feet of going in for these changes but they seem to have realized that if they do not do it then they will be stuck with all those old problems and nothing to replace it once the closures are a fact So now we have started to see plants being closed down and plans for more closures Question is where will the new plants be built, by whom and how fast will these changes take place Who will live to make the change Pretty exciting times ahead for us customers |

fusion has only helium and energy as results
What you may be thinking of are some experiments have needed fission as a starter then you may get some waste from the starter Other methods of starters give no waste Fusion contained in a magnetic fields and started by electricity is the future of nuclear Until then fission is a good alternative and has a proven very good record Nuclear will rise again |

Nuclear waste will be confined to the Yucca mountain site, as soon as the
'politics' of doing so is settled. That is a far more secure place of storing it then under six feet of water in the power plants as is the case now. mike hunt "joe schmoe" > wrote in message ... > On Tue, 13 Dec 2005 03:19:46 GMT, "Oscar_Lives" > > wrote: > >> >>"Brian" > wrote in message ... >> >>>> >>>> Nuclear plants will be built to generate electricity >>>> >> >> >>What are you going to do with all that nuclear waste? >> > You don't think we could re-enrich it and send it to be stored where > we get all of our oil from at the moment?

All current experiments in fusion have resulted in radioactive waste - google TFTR, or google fusion waste if you want examples. All fusion reactors will, unavoidably, produce radioactive waste, mostly due to the interaction of the neutron flux produced as it impacts the vessel walls or coolant. FloydR |

The fission solution is available, safe, competitive, reliable,
operational. The problem of high activity waste disposal is, objectively, a minor problem, changed into a severe social problem by mass medias. The nuclear waste problem is tiny compared to the gigantic one generated by billions tons of CO2, SO2, NOX sent every year in our atmosphere from fossils fuels. Fusion is without waste |

Launch it into space and send it into the sun, all the while laughing at the environmentalist idiots who file lawsuits claiming that adding ..000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000000000000000001% of nuclear fuel to the sun's mass is an environmental disaster. Put it down michael jackson's pants. Ship it to france, tell them it is from SH. Allow the muslims in the world to experience first hand what a nuclear bomb does. I am sure we can come up with more if we try. |
