now, in simple terms, all a nuclear reactor is a steam engine i know that we use the emitting nutrons to heat up water, which boils, then moves a turbine, but THIS IS SO SIMPLE!
why, why, why, isn't there a more simple way to convert this neutron into useable energy? a significantly size neuclaer reactor would revolutionize the world. possibly for the worse, but anyways,
i keep hearing use K.I.S.S. (keep it simple stupd)
and this is really simple! this idea has been around for at least 100 years. i know that we have exponentially grown in our understanding of science and technology, but why do we stick to this incredibly inefficiant (pollution wize) way of transfering radiant neutrons into heat, then to move a turbine, then back into water... repeating for ever and ever.
in my mind this seems rediculously simple. i think that a more feasible solution is in grasp by now. we need a solution these days to simply convert energy, we've got all sorts of implimintations regarding energy conversion. why can we implement them into this problem?
please forgive my spelling and grammar mistakes
