Title: MW: The WAMSR Creation Bill (Passed) Post by: Senator Cris on September 11, 2014, 06:57:10 AM Quote The WAMSR Creation Bill Section 1 The WAMS Reactor 1. The Waste Annihilating Molten Salt Reactor (WAMSR) reduces the amount of nuclear waste produced and has a lower risk of meltdowns due to the use of Molten Salt instead of Water as the coolant.2. The WAMSR was developed in Atlasia by Atlasian graduates of MIT. 3. The WAMSR can use nuclear waste from other reactors has its fuel. Section 2 Funding 1. The Government of the Midwest will provide $1 Billion dollars for the construction of WAMS Reactors in the Region. 2. These reactors shall be constructed in Vitality, Joy, Mirth, and Moxie. Section 3 Implementation Date 1. This law shall take effect January 1, 2015.Sponsor: Representative GAworth. Title: Re: MW: The WAMSR Creation Bill Post by: GAworth on September 11, 2014, 10:58:36 AM I would like to thank the Archduke for bringing this bill to the floor. As many of you know, I have always been one to support our alternative energy sector. Nuclear energy has recently been demonized, for very valid reasons. However, this type of reactor can help allay those fears. They can use the waste from other Nuclear plants as it's fuel. The fuel is only radioactive for 100 or so years after usage, unlike regular waste, that can be radioactive for hundreds of thousands years. Molten Salt is safer than the usual water cooling system. I can go on more about the reactor system but let me get to the bill.
WAMSRs are new and need financial assistance to become a main stream system. $1 Billion dollars would build around 4 reactors. I picked the states below because of population and government locations. If you have any questions, critiques, or amendments, I look forward to seeing them.

Title: Re: MW: The WAMSR Creation Bill Post by: Gass3268 on September 14, 2014, 08:44:46 PM I am not a fan of nuclear power plants, but I understand that they are necessary to meet our energy demands. Maybe we could chance this so that WAMSR replaces our current reactors as they are safer and cleaner?

Title: Re: MW: The WAMSR Creation Bill Post by: Hash on September 17, 2014, 03:59:43 PM Again, where is the billion bucks coming from?
Title: Re: MW: The WAMSR Creation Bill Post by: LeBron on September 17, 2014, 06:07:01 PM When it comes to energy efficiency, I like to look for more cost effective and safer ways to address the issue especially solar energy panels.
So I'm not a huge fan of nuclear power plants either, and I would prefer to see an added clause to forbade the construction of any new nuclear power plants, but I like the intent of this bill to better stop nuclear waste from building up. Just the cost is kind of unsettling with nuclear energy becoming a thing of the past. I'm just not sure we that many new reactors.

Title: Re: MW: The WAMSR Creation Bill Post by: Senator Cris on September 18, 2014, 12:31:32 PM If I'm right, the representatives' intent is of insert a point in the bill that say that WAMSR replaces our current reactors.
I'm right? If yes, please present an amendment. PS. I support this.

Title: Re: MW: The WAMSR Creation Bill Post by: LeBron on September 23, 2014, 10:09:53 PM That's actually a really good revision. I would have never thought to do that, honestly. The original bill only covers CO, SD, MN and IA, but neglects ND and other states that have very serious problems with toxic waste evisceration. I support the amendment.
Title: Re: MW: The WAMSR Creation Bill Post by: Gass3268 on September 24, 2014, 09:45:11 AM There were some grammar issues with my last amendment, so I will withdraw it and introduce this new on with the correct language.

Title: Re: MW: The WAMSR Creation Bill Post by: GAworth on September 25, 2014, 10:23:57 AM I am not totally on board with this one. I am all in favor of removing the States, but the replacement is where I have a problem. There is no timeline to phase out the old nuclear plants, and with that, we would need to increase the funding. This pays for four, maybe five, reactors, we currently have 8 traditional reactors in the Midwest.
So basically, I am in favor of the removal of the States. But against the other changes. Title: Re: MW: The WAMSR Creation Bill Post by: Senator Cris on September 27, 2014, 02:13:50 AM I open a 48-hour vote on the Gass's amendment. Please vote Aye, Nay or Abstain.
