Nuclear Reactors 1429 - Standford University And The University Of British Columbia Collaborate On A Study Of Costs Of Small Modular Reactors - Part 1 of 2 Parts

Part 1 of 2 Parts
     Small modular reactors (SMR) have long been touted as the future of nuclear energy. However, they will actually generate more radioactive waste than conventional nuclear power plants. This was found during research at Stanford and the University of British Columbia.

     In the early 1950s, the U.S. military tested a series of nuclear weapons in the Pacific Ocean that were “boosted” by gases that created a fusion reaction. This resulted in explosions that were seven hundred times more powerful than the Hiroshima blast.

     Utilizing high temperature superconduction, the ES magnets are more powerful than the copper ones used in older tokamaks. According to MIT scientists researching the same technology, they permit smaller tokamaks that can generate as much fusion energy as larger ones, and they can better confine plasma.
