Some more facts. Strontium and the other most harmful waste, C 90. Can be retained in stainless steel vessels. then used on a safely sealed endless production belt to irradiate cryovaced food. Which as long as it remains sealed, (meat, fruit, veges) is farm fresh for decades or centuries, freezer free!

That spent fuel rods, can be sliced wafer thin then encrusted with manmade diamonds that turn nuclear radiation into electric current via nuclear batteries.

Manmade diamonds are created by heating and pressurizing sugar in a well known process. Who knows, someday nuclear batteries may power solid state technology flight? Where the only moving part is the air car, plane or rocket?

Well, Hasbeen. That's easy to say without any as usual for you, evidence. Whereas every boy and his dog know that you have considerable coal interests/investments.

Coal can provide carbon-free power by the following method. The coal is cooked and the gas released is scrubbed then used in ceramic fuel cells where the exhaust is mostly pristine water vapor. The heat source would be solar thermal and the process including the mining automated to the enth degree. And the carbon used in various industrial processes or buried.

That said, there'd be no point, given solar thermal alone would provide the same power/energy component from an energy source forever free! As is biogas! (methane)

You know that renewable energy is rubbish when a big deal is made of South Australia getting 100% of its power from solar energy for a few minutes. Yes, SA is indeed leading Australia like a lemming leaping into the abyss.

Dick Smith says CSIRO and AEMO are lying about the cost of intermittent renewables plus storage. They're doing so by underestimating the quantum of storage needed, which must surely be purposeful. Australian's are the subject of an already failed grand experiment run by Germany, just to appease the boffins/enthusiasts and hobbyists infecting our institutions with their idealistic groupthink and reveries. http://tinyurl.com/bdh4v7pe

Hey Alan B.
Check this out.
Maybe EU countries will move towards these now as events in Ukraine / Russia unfold.

I know there is some kind of controversy and backstory relating to this company but I can't remember the details off hand.
It relates to George Webb's investigations regarding members of US government.
I think they can be placed on a barge (floating reactors)
If I come across the details again, I'll share the info.

There's a picture on that webpage above that may interest you.

Nice drawings of smrs wont keep the smelters running either. You might note that execution and reporting of renewable energy in Australia is much like Russia's execution and reporting of its war in Ukraine. I only wish that renewable energy had as much support.
