>>12708899>>12708899It's extremely safe you fucking fool. Far safer than anything else. You explode the nukes in an underground cavity, what's the worst that could happen? Cave-in??
>>literally need a constant supply of nuclear bombsThe fuel costs for a reasonable PACER, using 10kT, 100kT, or even megaton devices, are orders of magnitude cheaper than any other fuel, even plain old Uranium for fission. Further, the fusion process in the bombs produces neutrons, which are a useful breeding resource, because they can be used to make plutonium from uranium, fissile uranium 233 from Thorium, tritium from deuterium, and many other elements, since there is an excess of neutrons, even after replenishing all the fuel that is used in the reaction. The PACER system will not run out of fuel in any forseable timespan, millions and millions of years, even with growing energy usage, and it can breed materials and reprocess its own waste. It's really a fantastic proposal.
>If the public won't support the reactors we have because of safety concernsIt might be possible to arrange the bombs to be safe to theft, so that they only explode in the environment of the cavity, perhaps if the heat-absorber in the cavity were also a neutron reflector? If it is a pressurized molten salt, then it might be possible to prevent unauthorized usage of the devices.
>how you think they'll feel about literal nukes being detonated every day in their backyard?PACER fucks the competition so hard that we'll need to just propagandize the stigma away or ignore it or somehow. Think of the trees, etc. They can all blow me.
