Good point. Though that MSR type of reactors eliminates nuclear meltdown scenario AFAIK. So it shouldn’t be as bad as Fukushima… I think?

I wanted something like Skyscrapercity forum but on Lemmy, or something similar to r/transit.
...
Also just wanna give Lemmy the last chance, if it turns out sucks, tbh I will leave. You already know how negative my impression of Lemmy

Also I just remembered that the talk about nuclear reactor Indonesia started just in time with the news about undersea cable between Singapore and Australia being approved by Singapore gov. There are rumour that suggests that Indonesia should build its nuclear reactor near Batam island (island near Singapore) so that Indonesia’s power could be exported to Singapore. I cannot find realible source about this tbh.

Recently, since the new elected president of Indonesia, Prabowo Subianto, has been in office since October 2024, there has been a good news about building nuclear power generator in Indonesia. Specifically, back in October, he stated in Indonesia-Brazil Business Forum that Indonesia wants to build nuclear reactor [1]. There aren’t a lot of information about this yet, but it seems that Indonesia wants to use Thorcon’s molten-salt reactor technology [2]. Honestly, my knowledge about nuclear reactor isn’t deep, but it seems that molten-salt reactor seems really safe as it eliminates the nuclear meltdown scenario [3].
Honestly? As an Indonesian, I can only believe his word when they actually started building, when I see said reactor physically with my own eyes. After all politicians lies all the time, that includes Indonesian politicians. Especially Indonesian politician, haha. Talk is cheap after all. But the fact that Prabowo himself says that Indonesia wants to build nuclear reactor gives me hope.
What are your thoughts on this? Is molten-salt reactor a good technology?
