RE: Fission or Fusion: Why is nuclear fission the preferred choice in energy generation?

in #stemng7 years ago

@greenrun, as you have noted, the fission process self-sustaining property makes it preferable over the fusion process. But looking at the experiment by Iter Tokamak, putting 50 MW and deriving 500MW is super efficient but that is on a laboratory scale. The requirement on a large scale cannot not be predictable.

One cannot tell what will be required to generate say up to 5000MW. Just imagine having a 23, 000 tonnes of equipment to generate 500MW. What will be the weight for 5000 MW? Even the temperature in the experiment appears prohibitive.

However, I am certain that given time a lot will be unravel and understood.

well done sir.

Sort:  

That's true, there is also the fear the device may not hold up for long to be used for commercial purpose. But anyways let's see how it goes. You gotta give it a try first.

Yeah, there is no harm in trying. Let's stay optimistic.
