I don't accept that. Not all nuclear reactions are equal. Actinide fissions are different in effect from Beryllium 8 fission....
just as a TNT explosion differs from a candle burning.
The financial cost of the Fukushima cleanup is estimated at $105 billion dollars. The financial cost of Chernobyl is several times more.
If you ask the citizens in these areas if they want the actinide nuclear fissions that were in these reactors reinstated they will say "Tondemonai" or simply " Nyet."
On the other hand if you say to them.. there are nuclear reactions with the light elements nickel /lithium which produce much cheaper energy and cannot spread radioactive isotopes over large land areas ...
they will say " shinjirarenai ","ya ne veryu v eto" and "prove it!"
Which is basically what this LENR FORUM is about.. finding a nuclear reaction which is cheaper and safer than actinide fissions.
