The Phénix rector shut down in 2009 so I think that was the end of France’s breeder reactors. India, China and Russia have operating breeder reactors.
Breeding from non-fissile material is different to reprocessing though. Reprocessing is a chemical process, not a nuclear one. The UK had an operational reprocessing capability - though it is being decommissioned now because it wasn’t cost effective with such a small fleet. Japan is still trying to bring its reprocessing plant online (after years of trouble). However France is doing it routinely for their domestic fleet and some foreign reactors IIRC. The USA made reprocessing illegal back in 1977 due to proliferation concerns. Despite that ban being repealed, they haven’t set up the regulatory infrastructure to be able to do it so no one has bothered. Maybe the new nuclear industry will shake that up a bit.

They’re over by a factor of 6 which would add up to 21 hours, not 24. I don’t know what they’ve done to get 2.5 million, it should be 417 thousand with those numbers.

1500 cubic meters
Did you really pick the figure from the RBMK reactor type?
For PWRs, 250 m³ of LILW per GW annum is 28.5 m³ of LILW per TWh.
2.5 million turkeys in a 2.4 kW oven for 3.5 hours uses 0.021 TWh.
So 2.5 million turkeys and 0.6 m³ total low and intermediate wastes generated. Most of this can be released after ~300 years with negligible activity over natural background. That is a long time but not “basically forever”.

They’re talking about recycling the fuel and putting it back into the reactors. Unfortunately it’s cheaper to mine fresh fuel than to reprocess used fuel … as long as you just ignore the waste problem.
- Comment on TURKEY POWER 3 weeks ago:
No permanent storage location for the waste has been found, to date.
to burn the unburned fuel you would have to breed the material
France reprocesses spent fuel. With increased scale it would be cheaper and cut down on the volume of waste that must be dealt with regardless of if there’s a nuclear industry in the future.

Yeah, tineye doesn’t find any matches for it but does for all the others.
The backlight could be sunlight, but the it wouldn’t be deep-sea. It could be another submersible with a light, but I don’t know why two would dive together. The bokeh looks pretty weird also. I think it’s AI.

Then I guess you can fit about 500 tons of giraffe in it.

If it’s a cube, I’d have questions before they got to 8m.
If it’s 1m², but 500m tall, I’d have … different questions. - Comment on scan scam 4 months ago:
I see. I started reading this article which describes a whole host of different techniques. It really seems to be exploiting the physics of NMR to get this enhancement (or deficit), along with the image processing. It’s really interesting but I’d need a while to get my head around it.
- Comment on scan scam 4 months ago:
Neat, I was thinking it was something like motion amplification. I guess the lungs would mess with imaging of the torso, or can you pick the motion frequency to isolate bloodflow but ignore respiration?

Magnetic Resonance Angiogram. Yeah it’s an MRI. I guess they’re processing it somehow to enhance bloodflow like FMRI. Seems like it doesn’t require contrast.

This doesn’t really answer my question but Crowdstrike do explain a bit here: crowdstrike.com/…/technical-details-on-todays-out…
These channel files are configuration for the driver and are pushed several times a day. It seems the driver can take a page fault if certain conditions are met. A mistake in a config file triggered this condition and put a lot of machines into a BSOD bootloop.
I think it makes sense that this was a preexisting bug in the driver which was triggered by an erroneous config. What I still don’t know is if these channel updates have a staged deployment (presumably driver updates do), and what fraction of machines that got the bad update actually had a BSOD.
Anyway, they should rewrite it in Rust.
- Comment on Happy International Blue Screen Day 5 months ago:
Does anyone know how these Cloudstrike updates are actually deployed? Presumably the software has its own update mechanism to react to emergent threats without waiting for patch tuesday. Can users control the update policy for these ‘channel files’ themselves?
