A massive nuclear fusion experiment just hit a major milestone, potentially putting us a little closer to a future of limitless clean energy.

And you think current reactor designs aren't hard? Seriously? Wow OK end if story for you.

Thankfully casting this stuff is fairly easy. Has this stuff been tested in a SLS printer which would make your machining is hard point absolutely moot?

Tell me you have 0 clue about MSR by telling me they use water. Hilarious man. Try a CO2 heat exchange for the 500c temps the reactor runs at. The only water needed for a MSR is the secondary heat exchange between CO2 and water using a closed loop system.

Find any information bad on the much safer CANDU reactors, MSR are magnitudes of order safer due to not having 900+ psi water acting as a coolant

The limited supply of CANDU is just due to stupid politics/bureaucracy, Ontario has been trying to build a new reactor for the past decade and was nearly canceled under our moronic Liberal leadership at one point

Once again the guy who literally invented both types of reactors favored the MSR design. I'll take his opinion over yours as he actually worked with the shit leadingntonthe creation of Hastaloy N. Not C233 or w/e you linked.

We have the technology to deal with every problem you have with the MSR.

If gamma ray make it so hard to do anything why did we created cobalt-60?

And to put a cherry on top

I never, ever said MSRs use water. Like, ever. ๐Ÿคท

Porosity, residual stresses, QA testing, all are significant factors with SLS forming. At no point in trying to discuss this with you in front of everyone has there been anything but an emotionally distressed, incoherent response to provided facts.

Everyone sees your hail Mary at play. Everyone. You are factually naked in front of everyone, trying your best to look competent.

Good luck, silly, I'm going to watch a movie with my kind-hearted girlfriend, and go to my nice well-paying job working on energy systems tomorrow to be a positive contributor instead of dead weight.

Then why did you mention fresh drinking water if MSR doesn't use it? Oh wait, it can desalinate water with MSR

Yeah Ii want good QA in a reactor, NASA / SpaceX use SLS to aide in manufacturing rockets, if it can handle those pressures I'm sure a 1 atmosphere of pressure in a MSR won't be much if a challenge for SLS printed parts.

Nothing I have stated is incoherent its just a shitty defense for you not being able to defend your position.

I'm sure you are a "productive member of society" enjoy your day
