Spit out the wafer.

I’m so out of my depth in this thread. Is this a real side effect of radiation?
Milk_Sheikh@lemm.ee 7 months ago
I can’t find it now, but I’d swear to having read an anecdote from someone working with radiation who reported tingling teeth during exposure.
It definitely does a lot of nasty things to the body.

Too 👏 cheap 👏 to 👏 meter
Zink@programming.dev 7 months ago
Given the up-front cost of any kind of reactor, I don’t think the concept of a usage-based electric bill goes away as long as it’s corporations competing for customers. Maybe eventually it would be like ISPs where it’s a flat fee depending on the size of your connection. I guess it could be totally unmetered then.
Like so many things, it gets a lot simpler if it’s the government supplying the service.
psud@aussie.zone 7 months ago
It’s not too cheap to meter even when provided as a public service. Nuclear is more expensive than battery + solar, more expensive than wind, more expensive than coal
“Too cheap to meter” was a lie that ignored costs of safety and decommissioning.

More people die from wind turbines and hydro than from nuclear on a per tWh basis. If we actually want to save lives we would require higher levels of safety standards on fossil fuels that are magnitudes more dangerous than nuclear

Uranium has so many calories, he will never have to eat again
TimewornTraveler@lemm.ee 7 months ago
dude how many degrees celsius do you think one uranium wafer could heat one litre of water by??
gmtom@lemmy.world 7 months ago
There’s a timeliness where tiktok kids are eating atomic wafers as a challenge.

It’s literally called wafer. Can’t blame him

Atomic wafers made by the techo-church-state? Or have I got this back to front and this is how the non-technical society irradiates its children?
bleistift2@sopuli.xyz 7 months ago
I think this refers to everyday household items being powered by some unspecified kind of uranium engine.

Wait a sec, I was told American’s don’t use the metric system…
austinfloyd@ttrpg.network 7 months ago
The imperial system doesn’t have any electromagnetism units that I’m aware of, so they borrow from SI.
captainlezbian@lemmy.world 7 months ago
We can use horsepower hours if you’d like. Or BTU
Telodzrum@lemmy.world 7 months ago
The Watt predates the SI itself. SI borrows the Watt much as it dues with other units.

Great novel “The Thin Man” by Dashiell Hammett.
After the narrator’s wife does something particularly brave a witness remarks admiringly “That’s a dame with hair on her chest!”

Wonder if a convenient wall mount would even be worth it, isn’t a golf ball sized pellet enough for a lifetime of consumer usage or something?
MisterD@lemmy.ca 7 months ago
That’s Thorium that will do that. Image
With Uranium, a reactor only extracts 5% of the enemy in the pellet and the 95% left is called “waste”.
reinei@lemmy.world 7 months ago
Well I rather prefer 95% of my enemies be left as waste and only deal with 5% of them!

Thank you Junior. Don’t forget to wear you shoes when you go play in the asbestos pit at school. I put two cigarettes in your lunchbox you can have one at lunch if your teacher says its okay and one on the way to home after your shift at the radium watch painting factory.

It’ll come back eventually unless fusion takes over. The power density promises are simply too attractive.
jabathekek@sopuli.xyz 7 months ago
Never mind that pesky burning taste, imagine the power savings!
MonkderVierte@lemmy.ml 7 months ago
The mining and processing of the “fuel” is not. The cost of the plants neither. That’s why nuclear is slowly losing to regenerative.

Funded by fossil fuels. The scariest concept to a capitalist is something being too cheap to matter.
