if a nuclear powered submarine has an accident, everyone drowns and the whole thing gets classified. if a nuclear power plant has an accident, climate change mitigations get pushed back another few metres of sea level rise

i grew up near watts bar, which took 23 years to finish and activate unit 1 and 43 years to do the same for unit 2. watts bar 2 was the only “new” commercial reactor in the us to be turned on in the 21st century so far until votgle 3 was turned on a couple of weeks ago. lmao

MononcQc but where does erlang fit into solving this I just ordered normal accidents, this is very much up my alley, thank you for posting it. At dayjob we are deploying a thing (non nuclear) where our system safety relies on an incredibly complex set of automated decision making from tons of different sensors, all happening in non-human timescales in life or death situations. I need the Feynman quote on a poster, and a drink.

rotor posted:i think a big part of it is that they dont have to buy insurance. a bigger difference is probably that naval reactors are bought and paid for up front, whereas power plants get financed and the interest continues accruing throughout the construction process I remember years ago in another thread someone posted a “nuclear power plant cost calculator” and playing around with it it became quickly obvious that the single biggest factor in final cost was the interest rate on the financing
