The graphite ball reactor will revolutionize nuclear fission reactors. It's essentially meltdown
proof. The design also significantly reduces the amount of fission waste products in the reactor
core by allowing continuous recycling of nuclear fuel. The graphite ball reactor was a German
invention. The German Green Party did their level best to suppress this technology. Fortunately
the World's nuclear power industry was too smart for them (not a difficult achievement). The
nuclear industry transfered the technology out of the Green's reach to South Africa. In South
Africa the technology was perfected and is now being transferred to China for commercialization.
This maybe the industrial world's economic salvation and perhaps the best solution for reducing
carbon dioxide emission.
Leave it to the idiot German Greens to attempt to suppress (and fail) such an important and vital technology.

- China to make commerical use of the graphite ball reactor
- Here is a link on this.
- Like all nuclear power technology, it will NOT be economically viable.

- Don't know where you get that idea.
- Breeder reactors and nuclear energy economics
- re: nuclear energy economics, and eating France's dust
- France's reactors are operated at a huge loss, made up by subsidies.
- re: nuclear energy economics, and eating France's dust
- my only concern
- It's my understanding...
- re: my only concern
- Then there is the safety problem with all graphite moderated reactors.

- I simply DO NOT BELIEVE IT.
- re: I simply DO NOT BELIEVE IT.
- I STILL DO NOT BELIEVE IT.
- News flash, David: Reality doesn't give a damn WHAT you BELIEVE!!
- Well, okay, believe what you want
- "Its not absurd to believe that simple radiant heat loss could cool the pile." Into WHERE?

- Thanks for the info (n/t)
