Speaker 1 (00:07):
Hello, everyone, Welcome to another episode of ECO podcast.

Speaker 2 (00:12):
Oh are you guys doing today? I am doing okay,
But all these days I've been feeling like a Monday.

Speaker 1 (00:21):
Like if like I brought on the title, if my
head would not be attached my shoulders, I would be
forgetting it everywhere.

Speaker 2 (00:31):
Holy crap.

Speaker 1 (00:33):
So I decided to go camping with the kids over
the weekend and took my niece and nephew, who have
never done camping before.

Speaker 2 (00:45):
My other networking to visit from Florida. There are three siblings.

Speaker 1 (00:51):
And so it was a very last minute camping trip
and nothing prepared. When I say that, I mean like
we haven't used the boat in like three years. You
have to be registered, and we haven't change camping for
at least three years as well, So.

Speaker 2 (01:11):
You forget all the basics.

Speaker 1 (01:13):
It's like, oh my god, we took the kitten, which
is just a regular canopy.

Speaker 2 (01:21):
With you know, the mosquito mating around it coolers.

Speaker 1 (01:27):
I forgot the good food or pods or.

Speaker 2 (01:34):
This the turkey. I mean basic.

Speaker 1 (01:40):
At least we took drinks and snacks and stuff. I
got a bunch of camping lights. Did you just kind
of like flick or turn on with a battery. I
forgot to take a boat, and so I have to
end up using the.

Speaker 2 (01:56):
Whatever the resident palpable things. Then I forgot I forgot
to take the.

Speaker 1 (02:10):
Charger for the power converter or the power battery pack,
and of course bat what I had and I used
their forgot turn on the they hit the fans for
a few minutes.

Speaker 2 (02:23):
I fell asleep two hours later. Battery. I mean, like
a total rookie man, this is insane. It's so.

Speaker 1 (02:34):
Thank god we're staying with like a rack and neck resort,
you know where I don't like that kind of camping,
meaning everybody has their campers, but you are so on
top of each other.

Speaker 2 (02:48):
It's like literally you can hear each other fart and
so it's too much, too too close for me.

Speaker 1 (02:59):
And so so we were lucky that they are testing
out places called Pope Haven Campground in upstate New York,
and they were testing out another area for it, like
there's rough, rough camping, you know, So we were in

(03:20):
the outside of it. We didn't really get to be
in the center of all the people around and whatnot.
So it felt like we had actually privacy, even though
this place was actually very nice.

Speaker 2 (03:31):
They had a nice store, pool, bar, geaching, I mean,
all kinds of stuff for the kids. I mean it
was great. Actually it was pretty good. So you know,
they a little bit.

Speaker 1 (03:46):
Of civilization, but at the same time at far enough
where it was a walk if you had to go
to the bathroom, and like for the nine year old boy,
you know, going to the woods and stuff like that.

Speaker 2 (04:05):
For the girl. For Bella, she get to decide whether
a she months ago on rough camping next year or not.

Speaker 1 (04:13):
Because there are no bathrooms to wherever you're gonna go,
you gotta little to go in the woods.

Speaker 2 (04:19):
And so that was pretty excited about it. I was
really excited. It takes a while to get used to.

Speaker 1 (04:30):
Like when we have two kids who are just one
really damn calm, the other one, you know, my fifteen
year old two the one is going.

Speaker 2 (04:39):
To be three years old, that's easy.

Speaker 1 (04:42):
So adding a nineteen i mean eleven and a nine
to the mix, oh, definitely, like eleanor my.

Speaker 2 (04:52):
Three year old. She was loving all.

Speaker 1 (04:55):
The people beginning in the house and the madness of
it me, it took a long time to be used
to this whole. My house looks like a hurricane continuously
stays around here.

Speaker 2 (05:10):
It's drawing it all.

Speaker 1 (05:14):
But thankfully the poll was clean. So I've been battling
that thing this whole time, and it was a really
really good time. So hopefully and there will be able
to come.

Speaker 2 (05:26):
Back on December hang out and stuff like that. But
when all, I'm hoping that a lot of those core
memories were made today, oh not today this weekend. And
then while I was at work today wasting time and

(05:50):
shuff like that, I came across this.

Speaker 1 (05:55):
Time this article, and then I searched all gatipathy to
see if it was true chattipety. Based on the sources
and checking on the links, it does seem to be true.

Speaker 2 (06:08):
Then I asked it to be like, okay, so if
it is true, what does it mean? Like when can
we get it? And stuff like that? See it in
real life world scenario I'm.

Speaker 1 (06:17):
Talking about the band made a nuclear reactor the size
of a shipping container that right there right how much
power it powers the whole town? Doesn't say how many people,
but it says and there's now all skirts of Hokido.
Japanese engineers have unveiled a nuclear innovation they could flip

(06:39):
the future of clean energy on its head a modular
microreactor the size of a shipping container, which is designed
for small communities and disaster zones. This self contains nuclear
unit delivers up to one mega lot of power, enough
to keep an entire running town running for years with

(06:59):
our fielding.

Speaker 2 (07:00):
So I mean one megabyte of power.

Speaker 1 (07:03):
That's fucking mute for something so small, comparable that if
you can move it around like any imagine having one
of those right now set up. For example, in the accident,
they oh, my god, the disaster's going on in North Carolina,

(07:24):
in Texas and all of that. I mean, life saving.
And I'm not even gonna go into the political side
of it, because it's to get it's back.

Speaker 2 (07:36):
In it now.

Speaker 1 (07:38):
The reactor is called the Juoi Reactor, built by a
private consourceman partnership with japan National Institution for Future Science.
Unlike conventional reactors, which are bulky, complex and sight bound,
the Jiroi is factory seal, factory seal, walk away, safe
and fully transportable by truckers YEP. Once deployed, it's buried

(08:02):
on the ground, no towers, no cooling towers, no human.

Speaker 2 (08:05):
Operator needed on site.

Speaker 1 (08:08):
The system uses molten salt as coolant in a low
enriched uranium fuel embedded in a ceramic matrix. Because the
fuel and coolant are chemically stable and operate at low temperature,
there are no risk of meltdowns, and in the event
of a power failure, the reactors should stand on its

(08:28):
own passively and without any intervention. Each model module it's
supposed to last up to ten years before needing any
kind of replacement.

Speaker 2 (08:38):
When spent, the.

Speaker 1 (08:40):
Entire sealed unit is this move removed in swap, just
like a giant nuclear battery. This reduces local radiation risk
and eliminates on site waste handling. In a country like
Japan where earthquake garment are concerns, the reactors passive safety
and module modular burial design offers massive advantages. So far,

(09:06):
two pilots units have been installed, one in our remote
mountainous town and the other one near a nice lated
island community that previously depended on diesel generators. Both are
operating flawlessly with zero missions and near zero maintenance. The
government hopes to deploy fifty by twenty thirty. That right there,
I mean fifty by twenty thirty. That shit is insane.

(09:30):
I mean, we're talking about not unlimited energy, but very cheap,
comparable to anything else when you don't even have access
to make it, to get it there, like you literally
look at star civilization anywhere. Now a lot safer, you

(09:51):
can scale it. Possibly, that's part of the stuff that
I was asking later, right, So.

Speaker 2 (09:58):
It's this. The the.

Speaker 1 (10:03):
Rocket them nuclear generator is called that tm sr LF one.
It stands for Thorium molten Salt Reactor liquid Fuel Prototype one.
It is a thermal spectrum MSR using a fluoride salt
mixture that contains uranium two thirty five and thorium two

(10:25):
thirty two. Well, wherever the hell they are, it's a.

Speaker 2 (10:29):
Two mw thh reactor.

Speaker 1 (10:34):
I'm sorry if I sound stupid than that developed by
China Shanghai Institute and Apply Physics under the Chinese Academy
of Science, timeline and chemilestones.

Speaker 2 (10:47):
This is just some of the times I was gonna
do it.

Speaker 1 (10:50):
I gotta jump at five minutes so I can go
like in twenty twenty two Environment Commissions two thousand and
seven June seven, twenty three operational licenses banted by National
Nuclear Security Cloud.

Speaker 2 (11:00):
Why is it a big deal?

Speaker 1 (11:02):
First, thorium based most in salt reactors operating since U
and the USNS nineteen sixty nine. So there is ABANDANM
potentially safer and efficient fuel and a closed fuel cycle,
which is a significant milestone.

Speaker 2 (11:18):
Not part I understand that it's passed.

Speaker 1 (11:20):
My head operates a six hundred and fifties degree cells
used with fluoride cooling, enabling high thermal efficiency and reduce
water dependence usefully narrated regions like Gansu or any other
am I in a desert or would you get very
little water? The next steps will be to build a
ten mega white. The pilot is expected to be in

(11:42):
about twenty twenty five to twenty twenty nine, and one
hundred mega whites commercially sold by twenty thirty and beyond.
So at the very least, you can expect the twenty
twenty thirty thirties twenty thirties for that to be happening,
and that would be like big shed for big companies.
So for you and I to go buy a small sum,

(12:03):
it don't ever happen. I mean we'll be like twenty
years from now the bar least, and a lot of
the things want to come up by then. But the
fact that it would be accessible in the next few
years to do that, that's going to be life changing.
I mean, as long as you've got governments willing to
realize that some things you need to invest without expecting

(12:26):
at ashing return, like public safety.

Speaker 2 (12:30):
And so.

Speaker 1 (12:36):
I am going to go ahead and get ready for
work because I got like three minutes before I go ahead.

Speaker 2 (12:45):
But it's interesting, Actually I got one last one. Did
I just remember of the of it? Did you guys
see this? So apparently.

Speaker 1 (13:04):
There is a second earny stellar in our since we've
ever been able to record any of this that allows
for coming from another galaxy that is not our own.
So it says our astronometers are actively tracking the thirty
one atlas, which is now the third not second third

(13:27):
confirm interstellar comet to pass through our Solar system. While
every planet, moon, asterisk comet in life firms that're forming
our Solar System shares a common origin, a common heritage.
Insig stellar visitors are true alzheiders, there are remnants of
other planet theory systems carry with them clues about the

(13:48):
information of worlds far beyond our own and maybe thousands
of years until humans visit a planet in another solar
system and interstellar commets offer that tantalizing opportunities for us
with touched something.

Speaker 2 (14:01):
Truly of the world. They're gonna tell me that when.

Speaker 1 (14:04):
We only started to records of this thing and we
barely got three but we think that there's no life
somewhere else in the world, the hell out of here
and the planet, I mean, in the universe. Anyway, I
hope you'll have a great rest of your day. Don't
