What's his favourite drink? I'm from the uk btw!

I'm not 100% on this so I mess up a little I apologise.

But as I understand it people will usually claim nuclear as sustainable due to amount of fuel we have left. I read somewhere that with the amount of uranium remaining there is enough fuel to last 100 years for every country in the world. And 1000 years worth if we restrict that to the countries who currently use nuclear.

There's also the fact that it's possible to breed plutonium inside a reactor this making even more fuel for use.

Again there is also a reactor design that bill gates gave a TED talk on called travelling wave reactors that would make it possible to use unenriched uranium as a fuel along with enriched fuel which would allow to have access to a ridiculous amount of fuel reserves. If I recall the number correctly the US alone has 100,000 tons of spent uranium that could be converted into useable fuel.

And then again there is the possibility of thorium reactors. This is because thorium is around 5 times more abundant that uranium. And if implemented correctly I believe is supposed to be a much safer reactor. But we will have to wait for India to see if it is feasible.

Hope this gives a bit of an overview on the reasoning :)

Do you have any research/designs working toward large grid level storage?

Done! I am but a simple British man

Excellent. Does your organisation share its findings with the international community?
