Why not use the returns of exports to build a nuclear reactor { Power Plant } here?
The DR is a sovereign nation and will do as it desires. The US can only advise. Nuclear power operation in the DR is not practical. Its government knows it.Nuclear power plant in a country that is not known for construction quality and quite a few tremors each year ? then there's the question of storage of nuclear waste _securely_ too. I dont think the US will allow this
feasibility calculations, spot on. Where is the report from the imports of fuels to generate electricity here? Your response is admired and pertinent to the studies.It is not feasible or logical for this country to support the costs of a nuclear power plant and all its baggage. A 1,000 MW nuclear plant would cost between $6 billion and $10 billion. A 1,000 MW wind farm costs between $1.6 billion - $1.75 billion.

Why not just dump it in the Ozama along with everything else?86 the w

The radiation emitted from the waste would eventually impact commercial fishing resources and the dumping areas would need to be designated as no go commercial fish harvesting sites.86 the w

Something the DR could pursue in the future Windy. They have fail safe systems built into them and are smaller scale. I expect to see them in the US, Canada, and Europe as their old full scale reactors age. Some countries are revamping old reactors because the cost and time to build new full scale reactors is crippling. At some point they will be supplemented by SMR’s. The DR government would have to sign an agreement to give the IAEA full authority over reactor operations, inspections, and waste management. No incentive for the DR to do that now. Coal, oil, and LNG is cheap and readily available.![]()

at least a few are following waste disposal methods. I was thinking all the Frogs could die.The radiation emitted from the waste would eventually impact commercial fishing resources and the dumping areas would need to be designated as no go commercial fish harvesting sites.
The IAEA considers the French radioactive waste treatment program to be one of the better ones. The French use a in vitro method. Radio active waste in cylindrical containers is covered in molten glass and stored in sealed containers in former underground mine sites where the temperature and humidity is stable. The plan is to treat the waste as it degrades to a much lower radiation level. Out of site but nit out of mind. It is still a future treatment issue.
Sir Josh,Indeed. My country in Northern Europe produces at the moment about half of the consumed electricity with nuclear power. One of the most sophisticated power plants was put in operation a few years ago, with an astronomical price tag knowledge in maintenance of such a plant you have no idea. Yet, it has this far been out of service in total for close to a year due to minor things that have been had to attend, replacement parts that were not available immediately etc. A modern nuclear plant provides a nice amount of relatively cheap energy, but indeed, requires expertise in building and maintenance and whatnot you have no idea. And if any of those components are not there, you have no idea what kind of risks you are exposing the people to.
Wind,you remind me of Earth, Wind, and Fire. Lad, when this mine plays out will you be some remains on this island?Indeed , coal and oil are the path forward for virtually all developing nations. With a bit of solar and wind power thrown in.
I swim there. The uniforms swarmed the area. Four deuces and a half. Kids where free. looking at an ancient drawing attention to a mean joe.Why not just dump it in the Ozama along with everything else?
Sir, your write the realities. When the Gold mines have played out what are our people to do? Keep it simple.Something the DR could pursue in the future Windy.
