In today’s episode, I got to talk about something near and dear to my heart (nuclear waste reprocessing) with Carl Perez of Exodys Energy, a nuclear waste reprocessing company.
What processing method does Exodys use? The linked page is uninformative.
A significant problem is that the Nuclear Waste Act explicitly forbade any of its Fund — now almost $50 billion — to be used for spent fuel processing. The fund is to be used exclusively for Yucca Mountain, which is now a dead duck. And without processing, we'd need eight Yucca Mountains.
Details in my book "Where Will We Get Our Energy? A Comprehensive Quantitative System Engineering Study of the Relationship between Climate, Science, and Technology." Everything quantified. No vague handwaving. 350 bibliographic citations allow readers to verify I didn't simply make up stuff.
carl is a high quality thinker/operator
Absolutely!!
"... a decade away from being out of Uranium."
wow I didn't know the supply was so thin.
[Carl was an excellent guest!]
