What do you think about dual fluid reactors?
Hi,
The first dual-fluid reactor is scheduled to be deployed by 2026. What do you think? A technology capable of producing 100% green energy, super cheaply, from nuclear waste, completely harmlessly, and without long-lasting nuclear waste, sounds too good to be true to me.
Do you think there might be a hidden catch?
Thanks
It is unlikely that there will be no debate in Germany, even if the technology should spark. You jumped on another train, from which you can’t just change from today to tomorrow.
Perhaps France will become a pioneer here, which has a different attitude towards nuclear power.
Not so fast with the young horses!
The manufacturer himself speaks of a prototype operation from 2028 to the end of 2031, from a general use until 2026 is not mentioned.
“super cheap” means an investment by 2031 of 6 billion US$, i.e. about 5.5 billion EUR. This money is to be purchased only in several rounds until 2028 (and further until 2030). So there is no capital yet.
Production costs of one-tenth of the current electricity market price are targeted. This is an unresolved promise, only at the end of the trip will the actual costs be known.
In addition, electricity is not obtained from atomic waste, but also from U-238 and not only from U-235. Although this opened up the possibility of using old fuel rods, the already formed cleavage products of the isotopes of iodine, caesium, strontium, xenon and barium remain. They don’t just disappear.
And they won’t be less, even U-235 has a corresponding series of decays…
This means that the “without long-lasting atomic waste” is there.
And that also: To build a “brother” in limestone was no less exciting, but failed in technical feasibility (fuel balls were rubbed, etc.)
That’s it.
If I would invest “my 5.5 billion euros” somewhere, then in solar power plant in North Africa and an Afro Euro link to us to Europe. Doesn’t sound less fantastic, but would be more likely.
But surely the company will be brought to the stock market in Canada (if not already done) and then advertised by well-known magazines 😁
😁
The demonstrator is supposed to emerge in Rwanda within 2-3 years.
Does that smell something weird for me?
Well, I’d be able to make Rwanda an economic impulse.
Actually, the fast breeder in Kalkar has failed in political feasibility. Despite all the requirements, he never got a licence.
With the fuel balls was in Jülich
It should be remembered that Rwanda has one of the most authoritarian regimes in the world. I would definitely not be able to make it so much for people if this is at the same time associated with dispensed safety standards.
I’m technically skeptical anyway.
By 2026, the first prototype is to be built in Rwanda if the financing is standing and everything is going as it should.
I’m thinking about 2028.
There are also some technical and material problems.
*If the DFR works as he should, then the merciless will make everything clear.
No one can fight.
We have approximately 10,000 tons old fuel rods in Germany alone. Once the DFR is running, it is possible to operate that by converting these old fuel rods into salt and let 1 gram of it drop into the reactor per second.
I think it is problematic in terms of material. The fact that a material sufficient for the requirements of this project is available that the corrosion is sufficiently resistant at the operating temperature of this plant should first be shown.
For safety reasons, good luck is almost impossible.
Great, I’ll put one like that in the garden.
Source?
That’s right, 300 years are almost nix.
Where should you start?

And 300 years are absolutely nothing compared to current reactors.
YouTube is just as little a source as Tele5, the bakery flower or Frau Schulze from the third floor. Take this.
Incitement reports, not facts. Please read directly from the manufacturer: https://dual-fluid.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Dual-Fluid_Whitepaper_DE_screen.pdf
(And finally stop taking YT as cash coins!!!)
But certainly not the *German* day vision
Thank you, this is an answer I had hoped for.
I don’t think you understand the answers.
It is very often reported about any groundbreaking technologies that should solve all the problems of humanity up to three years, or something similar. These reports are usually very little to nothing.
It is therefore a waste of time to deal with such “sensational” messages at all. If there is a solution to the human problem, the daily review also reports. Promise.
I don’t think you both understand the question. That’s why I asked her.
