Currently mined uranium that goes through a single ~5% burnup cycle is so cheap that seawater extraction and better burnup technologies are severely undercut.

Rocket engine exhaust, as well as the burnup of inactive satellites and rocket parts reentering Earth’s atmosphere, releases a suite of pollutants. New research from @eng.cam.ac.uk & TU Delft looks at just how much. eos.org/research-spo...
Rocket Launches and Reentries Harm Earth’s Ozone Layer - Eos
Solid-state fuels—recently used to help launch astronauts to the Moon for the first time in decades—appear to be the fuel type with the most detrimental effects on the ozone.

Rubbia's "Energy Amplifier": a 1 GeV proton synchrotron attached to a 1500 MWth subcritical thorium core. It promises high burnup and long fuel life at 100 GWd/ton for 5 years, plus much shortened half-lifes for the radioactive waste.

This morning spent repairing the regulator board on an FT101E.
Previous repairer gave up.
The board burnup when the bias caps failed caused a 60 ohm leak between adjacent edge connector pins.
The track from pin 5 had to be rerouted. And the capactor to pin 6 rerouted to avoid the burnt area.

Tests showed uranium, thorium, & a little plutonium.
Pu isotopic composition as “weapons grade” (so low burnup & low Pu-240 (apparently only a tony amount).

The set of ANEEL fuel rodlets achieved over 45 GWd/MTU - six to seven times the average discharge burnup for PHWR/CANDU reactors that are designed to use natural uranium fuel. These bundles can be used in all Canadian reactors. Here's what they look like

Here's the Neutronics Scoping Tool, which allows you to dial in a certain core height, radius, enrichment, and power rating and see if it will go critical and how long it will run. Then, it estimates the fuel LCOE, average discharge burnup, and a whole lot more. www.youtube.com/watch?v=GQzD...

So, another project I decided to draw over last month, inspired by a YCH I won from BurnUp 666, just done in my style with some extra twerking XD
Anyway, here's my favorite fatassed shortstack duo Rebecca + Tatsumaki again!
Enjoy!

The amount of power that's been extracted from nuclear fuel is measured in "burnup" which is either MWd/kg or GWd/t (the units are equivalent, the latter is easier to math for gigawatt scale reactors) en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burnup

There's also Burnup; a final, fifth Scar which you can push into a positive feedback loop of cosmic proportions. Every Burnup can be potentially fight-winning just on its own; Cancer's reduces all incoming damage to 1 and destroys foes that hit you. Also, force 2 to attack you per turn. Have fun.
