RE: Re; [Vo]:Climate And Nuclear Energy

It would be sad to bring back nuclear power, not only because of costs and waste concerns but also because of the politics It entrenches. Big, expensive centralized, state affiliated power instead of the opposite. I also believe that Saudi Arabia is one of the top 3 obstacles to world peace

Chris Zell, "Better hurry with LENR because climate change concern is being used to bring back nuclear power." If more traditional nuclear is safe and cheaper than LENR I would be all for it. We should have built a bunch of LFTRs 20 years ago. Even Modular Moving Pebble Bed reactors are not

While Li and other alkali metals (K, Cs) have shown some value in LENR, they do not seem to be required for Ni-H LENR. Piantelli's baseline Ni-H LENR uses a pure Ni rod and isotopically natural H2 and achieves LENR. >From this reaction he discovered MeV protons being emitted and later added a Li

Piantelli is known to electrically pre-process his Ni bars - just a particular conducted current. I am not sure what exactly this achieves; perhaps only initial grain crystallite alignment, or it could be to drive the impurities out of the grains and into the grain boundaries. He also requires a

If shock waves initiate a reaction how does one control such a reaction. It seems to suggest a rapid chain reaction would happen. Potentially the shock would be confined to a nano region of the fuel based on the particle size and shape. However it seems even a nano chain reaction might cause
