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