Pete,
Would you put your knowledge to work for these Natives learning ... ? No money. Maybe some fruits, vegetables shared as your pay? Show them the ways of reading Plans and Specifications, you can do this, Pete.

Cheap and reliable energy is the most important for all and for everything,
I am very much in favor to rent SMRs with full service contracts.
Examples to watch:

For the D.R. this is perfect:
Order today for the benefit of all and everything.

EWF is one of my favorite bands. Other than that, I did not understand your question?
Fossil fuels are the way all developing nations will go for most of their power. A bit of solar and wind added in to make it look like they have thought about "green" power. Fits the DR to a T and precisely what is happening here with lip service to green power and then add more coal or oil fired plants.
Ah, somehow gold mines got into the picture along the way. Gold is not the only export and the DR does not get much of the value of the gold mined. Bad deals made with the miners on that issue.
The issue is how to best get electricity. SMR's would be a good option . Or just keep building oil or coal fired plants as needed. That's about it for the DR.

The French reactors are similar in technology to the Canadian CANDU reactors and have multiple fail safe systems built into them. Their track record is proven, given France’s long heavy reliance on them, and the CANDU technology has been exported to many countries including India. The Canadian SMR’s use the best aspects of the CANDU technology.
The waste management and storage technology hasn’t kept pace. Different countries use different methods. The IAEA monitors it in countries who signed on to their conventions. The US DOD has massive storage sites in desert areas. Twenty years ago, cleanup of those areas was estimated to be in the billions of dollars. I imagine that’s an order of magnitude higher now. God knows what the Russians are doing with theirs.
That’s the hidden part of the nuclear energy generation iceberg. Big and costly, and a hidden danger. Not to mention, the cost of disasters like Chernobyl and Three Mile Island and now the threat of bombing damage to reactors in war zones like Ukraine.
The current generations of nuclear power plants are a magnitude safer to operate and risc of failure is a lot less, also a lot less radioctive waste that have to be disposed.
The D.R would just pay for the electicity and not have to deal with the operation or disposal of waste.
Other forms of energy like oil, gas and coal pollute the environment a lot more and cause illness and death.
And then there is quality of life.
With reliable energy supply people will life longer and better.
Yes you can bomb NPP as you can do oil tanks and fields.
The D.R. has nothing that could trigger a foreign power to bomb, also terrorists are not interested.
We are exposed to some natural radiation all time.
Anyway, SMR are perfect for the D.R.
I might even buy an EV then.
Alexander
Sounds good for the operation, so is it still cheapish energy if you have to factor in sourcing and safe transport (to and from the country) of the fuel sticks and all other operational costs including salaries that I would be are not even close to same as the salaries of EDEs/CDEEE staff?
I fully agree with you, oil, gas and coal do pollute the environment, but with nuclear power the biggest problem I'm aware of is waste disposal/storage.
Correct. An SMR would be a good pilot project for the DR. One modular unit can power 100,000 homes. I can see other islands doing the same thing if its viability is proven in the DR. Canada has the ability to provide the DR with the fuel from its uranium mines and help the DR manage the spent fuel rods. They can be sent back to Canada, enriched, and sent back to the DR.
Even if the DR committed to an SMR, it still needs to upgrade its unreliable electrical transmission grid. Otherwise it’s a wasted effort. Like having a a high powered sports car and no road to drive it on. DR administrations are reactive. Committing to an SMR is a proactive measure. Oil, LNG, and coal will remain their go to fuel sources until they get too costly or diminish.
Yesterday it was announced that the Paris Accords have failed to stop the predicted 1.5 degree temperature rise. No surprise. The DR isn’t a major emitter and certainly not under any obligation to do something like the major emitters. A SMR in the DR would be more of a gesture than a requirement. A nice gesture just the same.
gold, silver and copper pay billions in taxes. This will happen for decades. The Pueblo V is one of the top producers in the world. The mine uses natural mostly.
In case of renting a SMR the provider would have to take care of the complete cycle including transport and disposal of radioactive waste.
The westinghouse SMR needs to be refueled every 4 years only.
Alexander
Nobody in the world is going to do anything to stop climate change except for mitigation. There was never the will nor the means to do so. All deveoping nations need power. One SMR would do little. SMRs dotted near the big cities would be better than the alternatives for most countries. Shorter transmission lines that way as well. Or just build more fossil fule plants like the current sitaution in the DR and other developing nations.
Shut down all the power plants in China and the temperature will still go up, not a manmade fluctuation.
