You really do not want uranium spreading around. How do you replenish it?
Kaiseru, here is a primer on your softball questions... There is no molten salt in the Natrium reactor, it is pure liquid sodium cooled, with solid metallic rather than ceramic oxide fuel, which is what enhances its negative temperature coefficient of reactivity i.e. it automatically throttles based on its temperature, shutting down automatically as the temp rises. Look into the EBR-II reactor which is what this one is based on and ran problem free for nearly 30 years from 65-94. In particular, check out the safety testing done in the mid 80s where they tested EBR-II at full power by shutting down all the safety systems and then turned off the cooling system. The reactor temp raised a bit and then dropped to idle with no human or mechanical actions taken just based on the physics of the core itself. Keep water away from the reactor building and you basically have a melt-down proof system just based on physics. No valves, backup generators or other moving parts required. Liquid sodium is completely compatible with stainless steels with no corrosion, another thing proved with EBR-II. Another advantage is that it runs near atmospheric pressure in the reactor vs. very high pressure in water cooled reactors. This is possible because the boiling point of liquid sodium is much higher than the temp the reactor runs at (the opposite of water cooled reactors). To keep moisture in the air away, they use an argon cover gas at the top of the reactor, similar to what welders do to prevent oxidation of their welds. The molten salt used in this facility is only for heat storage, similar to concentrated solar, a proven technology. It is not involved directly in the reactor, contains no fuel and is not radioactive. Natrium is what is called an SFR (Sodium Fast Reactor). You may be thinking about MSRs (Molten Salt Reactor) which is a totally different design where the fuel is dissolved into molten salts which reside in the reactor itself. This isn't that type. In MSRs, corrosion is something that needs to be addressed, although interestingly it isn't the pure salt itself that is the main source of corrosion, it is the fission products dissolved in it that cause most of the problem. In Natrium, the heat is transferred from the primary sodium in the reactor pool into a secondary (non radioactive) sodium loop which takes it out of the reactor. This secondary sodium then transfers the heat to the molten salt which is stored in insulated tanks well away from the reactor itself. The steam generator generates steam from the heat stored in the molten salt, not the sodium, so there is significant separation between the sodium and the water as well as the ability to load follow the grid. Hope that helps.

I lived in Wyoming for three decades in a town 50 miles from Kemmerer. This is an outstanding project that will succeed. We are fortunate to have the exceedingly bright Bill Gates funding this 4th generation nuclear reactor with Congress.
As we saw in Fukashima and with near misses in Ukraine, the problem with nuclear is that it is incredibly safe until the power grid goes down which means nuclear plants have the potential to make a disaster that affects the power grid much worse. They still have not been able to design a plant that is truly "walk-away safe" and that term is used by marketers to merely describe a plant that can survive for a few days without power without melting down.
Fukushima had back up generators on the ground level for cooling pumps. These dont have the cooling water pumps and not built in tidal zones. So two primary faults eliminated. But do tell, how are you powering your devices more safely now? 26k Non smokers die of lung cancer in the US each year...its the fossil fuels.
@@jr.6199 So, if they do not have pumps, then how is the heat transfer fluid circulated? Because every reactor has heat transfer fluid: water, molten sodium, a gas, etc. which needs to move. Moreover, the spent fuel is also stored in a water pool just like every other reactor and that pool needs pumps to remove heat and prevent the fuel from becoming uncovered and melting down. I don't know if you are trying to imply CO2 causes cancer? It is not a carcinogen. A lot of people get lung cancer without exposure or they get lung cancer from things like radon in the home or asbestos at their jobs. If you believe global warming is an existential threat and must be solved asap, then maybe nuclear is the best option for you, but I would rather use another solution because the type of disasters than can cause reactors to melt down are imminent - they will definitely happen at some point and nuclear is extremely expensive at least in the west - perhaps it is a better option in China.
@@rickmartin9420 This is traveling wave reactor , it uses liquid sodium to store and transfer energy, liquid sodium has a boiling point of 880C. It's nearly impossible for nuclear meltdown to happen in this kind of reactor, and spent fuel can be recycled after melt refining, and this kind of reactor can burn the spent fuel from light water reactors.
@@brucel7430 "Nearly impossible" and yet liquid sodium reactors have in fact melted down and since the underlying technology is basically as old as the nuclear age, I'm guessing there are a number of other problems with sodium reactors that have prevented their widespread use all these decades, not the least of which is the incompatibility of the coolant with water.
@@rickmartin9420 Melted down when it was in the late 50s, that wasn't a traveling wave reactor design, and technology has advanced a lot since then, especially in material science field. Yes, liquid sodium could be dangerous, but it will not in contact with water at all.

Family passed away, no way to go to food bank or other “assistance” are dreams…..not for elderly Texans without anything….after applying to every state and federal agency. Bill can’t believe this is real.
I hope Gates does a better job improvng the nuclear energy racket than he did fixing public education, eradicating mosquitoes, or designing software that isn't a virus magnet. The public schools in his home town are still going downhill.
He never said he would eradicate mosquitoes. What software isn't hacked or a virus target? Btw, people are pretty stupid and good at downloading those viruses themselves.
I support development of nuclear power. Everything Gates said about relying solely on renewables to address environmental issues, the current capacity of, and future demand for, power and the strategic importance of nuke power generation is accurate. Don’t be foolish by dismissing the idea because you don’t like the messenger. I’m not the biggest fan of Gates either. But I’m glad this is getting started.
Question: I may have missed it but can the new reactors be implemented within our existing nuclear facilities or do we need a completely new buildout and diminish the old ones?
The only ones stay until retirement, the new ones are built in strategic places. Imagine it would be as simple as developing land next to existing sites if they wanted to put a next Gen reactor on a traditional site

Bill says that the consumer won't bare the cost, of this new power plant yet, next his says the Federal government will help pay. The Federal government is US - the U.S. taxpayer. We will pay! Boy Margaret Brennan let him off the hook.
How is nuclear waste green? It's highly radioactive non biodegradable that could likely outlive present long term contingencies for permanent containment.
How is it clean with nuclear waste? That is too small of a definition of clean! Cheaper to go wind or solar with battery storage!!! He is wrong. We don’t need nuclear if we are more aggressive with wind & solar. Permits for Nuclear are much more difficult. NIMBY!!!
The key takeaway is the Data Centers. They require a great deal of juice and it must be reliable. Universal AI surveliance and social credit scores on the Chinese model are key to Bill Gates long term control of the unruly freedom loving Americans. A big thank you to Margaret for helping the cause.

Buses don’t run for profit bill, they’re on on the road to lighten traffic and have you seen the fares on buses they’re less than 3 dollars and most the they’re driving around half full or nearly empty!!!
When asked about how expensive these units are, he talks about the cost of design. The cost of design is not a major part of the capital investments for these plants. It’s the actual equipment that drives the high cost and not the design of these units. Furthermore, he says that there is no cost to utility customers, but the government pays for it. But it’s taxpayer money and hence this is a cost to regular population. Either way you spin it, we pay for it, Bill

Mushrooms act as nature's cleanup crew, tackling a wide range of pollutants, including oil spills, heavy metals, pesticides, and even radioactive waste. When mushrooms are exposed to contaminated environments, their mycelium can absorb and accumulate heavy metals and pesticides from the soil or water. Question for those working on reducing the radioactive components off nuclear power..can mushrooms be used in the cleanup off radioactive waste, correct me if I'm wrong, I understand that nuclear waste is going to be used in these plants being constructed, can the remainder of off the waste be treated with mushrooms or is it a fanciful idea?
Nuclear energy is clean. No Co2. Look up what clean refers to. Every known energy source in existence produces waste/bi-product. What’s important is the process for disposal/safe storage being closely followed and with proper government overview. Nuclear energy waste (Primarily radioactive material with potentially long half-life) and how it was dealt with over the last 100+ years was done extremely poorly. We now have the necessary technology and know-how to deal with the waste safely. This is far more efficient than traditional power, and when done correctly, perfectly safe.

I’d like to see Margaret focus more on the subject of nuclear waste, which has become a burgeoning problem with all fission reactors, one that is overflowing nationwide. Yucca Mtn. NV waste repository has been a tremendous controversy and anything but a simple answer to humanity’s problems. So-called breeder reactors carry new security risks not mentioned, in that they produce less waste but refined weapons-grade byproducts. Mr. Gates is an unelected citizen attempting to lead policy formation without any special approval by the rest of the citizens of our country, to his own financial benefit. Nothing makes him ‘citizen one’ on solving these technological problems, instead he is an investor. But you’ll notice he talks of the cooling system but not nuclear waste to bamboozle the audience. Another problem not discussed is that if we merely serve economic growth with more energy, then we do nothing to address the growing fresh water supply issues, that will lead to the compounding of our problems together with the dangers of nuclear waste storage en masse.
Only if it passes muster under the objective lens, and not merely proponents’ claims, should it move ahead. We must remember that any risks would multiply out if a greater system were spread out based upon some new ‘atypical’ breeder reactor basis - if it is actually new. The highest standards in Europe may be being followed by Germany, which understands the science and has begun to ban nuclear energy systems and move toward renewable energy.
@@WindowsToEternity Germanys industry is dying due to their high energy costs...and they are building tons of coal to back up their systems. Also, nuclear was shut down for silly reasons, nothing to do with a higher standard.
sodium-cooled fast neutron reactors have been tried before by many companies and countries and everybody has failed so far! too expensive, too complicated and any molten sodium leak is a nightmare (Sodium ignites when exposed to air and explodes in contact with water). Besides, such a reactor is a "Plutonium factory" (the main component of nuclear weapons).
Years ago, National Geographic had an article about the newly developed designs for nuclear power plants. They all were simpler, cheaper and easier to build while having another HUGE advantage; they can't melt down. It takes effort to keep them going and if anything goes wrong, they shut down by default. Also many of then consume, instead of, creating radioactive material.
It's likely not from a place of humour - people with Aspergers are taught to laugh to minimise stress in social settings. This is likely what's going on here
Except Microsoft isn't involved with this project. It is a Gates Foundation project. While a lot of their funding comes from Microsoft you need to remember that they must SELL these stock holdings to pay for the R&D.

I lived in Wyoming for three decades in a town 50 miles from Kemmerer. This is an outstanding project that will succeed. We are fortunate to have the exceedingly bright Bill Gates funding this 4th generation nuclear reactor with Congress.
As we saw in Fukashima and with near misses in Ukraine, the problem with nuclear is that it is incredibly safe until the power grid goes down which means nuclear plants have the potential to make a disaster that affects the power grid much worse. They still have not been able to design a plant that is truly "walk-away safe" and that term is used by marketers to merely describe a plant that can survive for a few days without power without melting down.
Fukushima had back up generators on the ground level for cooling pumps. These dont have the cooling water pumps and not built in tidal zones. So two primary faults eliminated. But do tell, how are you powering your devices more safely now? 26k Non smokers die of lung cancer in the US each year...its the fossil fuels.
@@jr.6199 So, if they do not have pumps, then how is the heat transfer fluid circulated? Because every reactor has heat transfer fluid: water, molten sodium, a gas, etc. which needs to move. Moreover, the spent fuel is also stored in a water pool just like every other reactor and that pool needs pumps to remove heat and prevent the fuel from becoming uncovered and melting down. I don't know if you are trying to imply CO2 causes cancer? It is not a carcinogen. A lot of people get lung cancer without exposure or they get lung cancer from things like radon in the home or asbestos at their jobs. If you believe global warming is an existential threat and must be solved asap, then maybe nuclear is the best option for you, but I would rather use another solution because the type of disasters than can cause reactors to melt down are imminent - they will definitely happen at some point and nuclear is extremely expensive at least in the west - perhaps it is a better option in China.
@@rickmartin9420 This is traveling wave reactor , it uses liquid sodium to store and transfer energy, liquid sodium has a boiling point of 880C. It's nearly impossible for nuclear meltdown to happen in this kind of reactor, and spent fuel can be recycled after melt refining, and this kind of reactor can burn the spent fuel from light water reactors.
@@brucel7430 "Nearly impossible" and yet liquid sodium reactors have in fact melted down and since the underlying technology is basically as old as the nuclear age, I'm guessing there are a number of other problems with sodium reactors that have prevented their widespread use all these decades, not the least of which is the incompatibility of the coolant with water.
@@rickmartin9420 Melted down when it was in the late 50s, that wasn't a traveling wave reactor design, and technology has advanced a lot since then, especially in material science field. Yes, liquid sodium could be dangerous, but it will not in contact with water at all.
Bill Gates must need alot of energy for the A.I. supercomputers that will operate our dystopian future.
Shouldn’t we start conserving energy, no matter what the source. They all seem to impact the natural world.
Sure. Let’s conserve energy. Everyone start by using home routers with timers, no reason to run them all day. Shut them off unless you’re home. Same with Alexa and siri modules. Unplug the 5 smart Tv’s in homes. Smart thermostats. Lower the Speed limit on all interstates to 60 mph. Less rpm, less fuel of any kind used. Lower speed limits, safer roads, less accidents insurance cost go down. No bit coin mining, its pointless. Imaginary play money is worthless.
We’ll start there and then find other savings.
@@mcm3a812 this will not work. it's been tried my entire 55 years and it can't work becasue the population is growing and industry is the largest power user. we actually will need much more electricity to get off oil.

Long term waste storage? Can it be securely stored for 10,000 years? Are humans capable of keeping the waste safe and secure over the long term?
Exactly. Nuclear power is dirty.
I hope Gates does a better job improvng the nuclear energy racket than he did fixing public education, eradicating mosquitoes, or designing software that isn't a virus magnet. The public schools in his home town are still going downhill.
He never said he would eradicate mosquitoes. What software isn't hacked or a virus target? Btw, people are pretty stupid and good at downloading those viruses themselves.

I support development of nuclear power. Everything Gates said about relying solely on renewables to address environmental issues, the current capacity of, and future demand for, power and the strategic importance of nuke power generation is accurate.

Question: I may have missed it but can the new reactors be implemented within our existing nuclear facilities or do we need a completely new buildout and diminish the old ones?

Mushrooms act as nature's cleanup crew, tackling a wide range of pollutants, including oil spills, heavy metals, pesticides, and even radioactive waste. When mushrooms are exposed to contaminated environments, their mycelium can absorb and accumulate heavy metals and pesticides from the soil or water.
Question for those working on reducing the radioactive components off nuclear power..can mushrooms be used in the cleanup off radioactive waste, correct me if I'm wrong, I understand that nuclear waste is going to be used in these plants being constructed, can the remainder of off the waste be treated with mushrooms or is it a fanciful idea?

I lived across the Indian River a from a nuclear power plant. Absolutely no problem. What are you afraid of?
Nuclear energy is clean. No Co2. Look up what clean refers to. Every known energy source in existence produces waste/bi-product. What’s important is the process for disposal/safe storage being closely followed and with proper government overview. Nuclear energy waste (Primarily radioactive material with potentially long half-life) and how it was dealt with over the last 100+ years was done extremely poorly. We now have the necessary technology and know-how to deal with the waste safely. This is far more efficient than traditional power, and when done correctly, perfectly safe.

I’d like to see Margaret focus more on the subject of nuclear waste, which has become a burgeoning problem with all fission reactors, one that is overflowing nationwide. Yucca Mtn. NV waste repository has been a tremendous controversy and anything but a simple answer to humanity’s problems. So-called breeder reactors carry new security risks not mentioned, in that they produce less waste but refined weapons-grade byproducts. Mr. Gates is an unelected citizen attempting to lead policy formation without any special approval by the rest of the citizens of our country, to his own financial benefit. Nothing makes him ‘citizen one’ on solving these technological problems, instead he is an investor. But you’ll notice he talks of the cooling system but not nuclear waste to bamboozle the audience. Another problem not discussed is that if we merely serve economic growth with more energy, then we do nothing to address the growing fresh water supply issues, that will lead to the compounding of our problems together with the dangers of nuclear waste storage en masse.
This is NOT a typical fission breeder reactor. Do your home work
And he's bought up all the land over the major aquafers in the US. He's an asshole
Only if it passes muster under the objective lens, and not merely proponents’ claims, should it move ahead. We must remember that any risks would multiply out if a greater system were spread out based upon some new ‘atypical’ breeder reactor basis - if it is actually new. The highest standards in Europe may be being followed by Germany, which understands the science and has begun to ban nuclear energy systems and move toward renewable energy.

Years ago, National Geographic had an article about the newly developed designs for nuclear power plants. They all were simpler, cheaper and easier to build while having another HUGE advantage; they can't melt down. It takes effort to keep them going and if anything goes wrong, they shut down by default. Also many of then consume, instead of, creating radioactive material.
