The white lines are what's called an advance fuel cycle, where you reprocess.

Are you telling me that this sucker is nuclear?

There are ways to reprocess it and burn more, but it's quite expensive and it's not economically advantageous in today's reactors.

Narrator

Long lived nuclear waste that has to be kept out of the biosphere for over a quarter of a million years.

Its volume increases roughly by a factor of 1000.

I really only see five that can achieve the big numbers.

And then the model makes predictions down the road.

This is the conventional nuclear fuel cycle.

At 130, we start somewhere above 130, between building a bomb, and making enough weapons grade fuel so that you could build a bomb.

I need fuel.

Primary fuel?

Fuel supply?

Our fuel.

Mine fuel

Primary fuel 2893 KRG.

What is he saying about the fuel?

Fuel cells.

Goes off, does the experiment, comes back and says, Yep, you were right. It did fission.

And then it makes natural gas, which then goes back into the city to power the fuel for the cooking for the city.

The source of fuel crude oil.

Jet fuel.

That reactor is already hard to build in first place, with the traveling wave they make it even more complicated by saying we are going to leave the fuel in the reactor for the lifetime of the reactor.

A big pressurized water reactor vessel.

Rp7 rocket fuel burns at 5.000 degrees.

That's how you process your sense of touch.

Fuel, Skripach, fuel...

It's chemically fueled.

Fuelinjected.

But I'm not really concerned about the fuel.

In this kind of reactor, you can't do that.

We've talked about the soil erosion.

And lithium is in sea water. That's the yellow line.

The global economy grows exponentially, at about 3 a year, consuming increasing amounts of non renewable fuels, minerals and metals, as well as renewable resources

I made a promise that the next time I would fly around the world, it would be with no fuel, independent from fossil energies, in order to be safe, not to be threatened by the fuel gauge.

I can't give you a fuel injection.

Drop the fuel tanks and pull up!

Fill her up.

Like those cars that run on corn.

We're losing fuel.

We have a fuel leak!

It's like Michigan... hardcore propellant.

I was, you can see there, pulling two sledges.
