Nuclear Power Related Media Thread, page-3411

Sometimes it is worth taking a look back in time. This article: https://spectrum.ieee.org/laser-uranium-enrichment-makes-a-comeback is from 2010 when our SP was around the $5 mark. One quote that really stuck out to me was:

"But many experts are skeptical. Allan Krass, a retired U.S. State Department official and a physicist who visited Silex’s laboratory in 2000, says GE and Hitachi “are betting that there will be an upsurge of nuclear power plant construction—that’s a huge and extremely risky bet.” He adds that laser enrichment has been held back by substantial technical hurdles."

Well now the upsurge of nuclear power plant construction looks to be a fait accompli, and it also looks like the substantial technical hurdles have been solved. Meaning that the two biggest hurdles identified by a sceptical expert have now in 2023 both already been cleared.

Add to that the fact that a dollar in 2010 was worth a whole lot more than a dollar today and it should be clear that our SP belongs much much higher than where it presently is.
