Supercomputers to make safer nuclear reactors
Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute is leading a $3 million research project that will pair two of the world's most powerful supercomputers to boost the safety and reliability of next-generation nuclear power reactors.The three-year project, funded by the U.S. Department of Energy, will call upon a diverse team of researchers and institutions to create highly detailed computer models of a new proposed type of nuclear reactor. These models could play a key role for the future development of the new reactors, which meet stringent safety and nonproliferation criteria, can burn long-lived and highly radioactive materials, and can operate over a long time without using new fuel.full story at Nanotechnology Today http://nanotechnologytoday.blo...

i guess the nanotech is making photovoltaic systems much more efficent so that, for example germany would only need 2% of its area to come up with enough energy for the whole country.At the same time we could reduce our demand on energy if we would make the change to LED lights.even with the todays technology germany could reduce its carbondioxid emission for 1.6 million tons.nuclear reactors cant be safe enough so we should keep the long goal in focus to get independent of nuclear reactors.

many are/don't (99% is not safe enough)that's why we need the scientists with the supercomputers to figure safe(r) means of utilization. thanks for stopping by rocketsauce08

i'm scaredi don't like the idea of nuclear reactors |

For those considering buying a new vehicle, don't forget to check out
the new 2008 Toyota FJ Cruiser. Great for adventures off road, just for
cruising around town, or running to the store.
The new 2008 Toyota FJ Cruiser seats five and comes in
two-tone with a Voodoo Blue, Titanium Metallic, Black Diamond, Sun
Fusion, Sandstorm or Brick body color and White top. The interior
fabric color is Dark Charcoal, while the dash, center instrument panel
trim and the door inserts match the body.
