You worry me when you say things like that 
I don't really understand why you don't think there will be any net positive energy though. If one of these can burn the waste from 10 to 15 light water reactors, as they claim, or even if it can only burn the waste from one, surely the additional nukes would provide a net gain? |
LWRs are pretty good at getting the "good stuff" the sludge I hear has not all that much energy potential. And the idea is to burn this slow so you roast everything and not get left with a bunch of short lived super radioactive crap contaminating everything. Even with the fusion helping it would take years to burn that much material.
