You cannot qualify war in harsher terms than I will. War is cruelty, and you cannot refine it; and those who brought war into our Country deserve all the curses and maledictions a people can pour out.

a little known commander, general Sherman

“secede” and what else, that was most brazen imperialist land grab since ww2

how is that war with NATO going? zero NATO casualties, half million russian killed and wounded by now with no end in sight, after running through decades worth of soviet hoard of weapons. and what for? all for a distraction, psychopatic entertainment for russian nationalists, everything to keep putin’s approval ratings high. he tried to pull it out for the 4th time, and this time he met prepared resistance. end of war will be end of putin, but he doesn’t want to step down, so until someone pops him there won’t be peace

that’s just thorium nuclear cycle but worse

skillissuer, 10 hours ago

it’s in their faq www.transmutex.com/faq

It’s a thorium based subcritical reactor. India tried to make something similar, but with some amount of plutonium to start this thing and to not include accelerator. The problem is that accelerator required is large and expensive, and needs to use up some fraction of power produced. As of waste, no heavy actinides are produced, and spiciest fission products have half-life of about 30 years, in particular there’s no plutonium or americium made with half life of 80 ish years and 430ish years respectively. This makes radioactivity drop in 100s of years instead of thousands. These problems can be solved in other ways, for example by using fast breeder reactors, but these are hard to make. So will be massive accelerator required, so i’m not holding my breath

transport is a complete nonissue, this approach requires special reprocessing of spent fuel

skillissuer, 4 hours ago

freshly burned fuel is kept at nuclear powerplant spent fuel pool for months to years anyway precisely for this reason. heavy actinides have longer halflifes anyway

not more complicated, different

lol and what else

this process is already in use in dead sea chemical works and it’s about separating magnesium, just this time it uses desalination brine as an input

so it gives some table salt, and depending on what you want it to output, potassium chloride, magnesium salts or metal, gypsum, lithium

Returned brine is damaging to seafloor so returning less salt is a net improvement

some of these are removed one step upstream (in desalination plant)

itt people who under no pretext will read the linked article

it’s worse than reddit, but these come mostly from lemmy world

that description is also not entirely accurate, because they’re separating magnesium chloride by crystallization i guess, maybe some other methid, and then dry it, melt it, electrolysis gives magnesium metal and chlorine gas. just like in conventional process
