I'm more worried about those @%€$*! laser ammo that takes a TON of visual place and can't be sold, stacked, or repaired.


Ssshh its pretty

Also; it can be reprocessed

Whats the problem?

I wish I was smart enough to form an interesting and/or valid opinion on nuclear fuel.

We can't use solar power, it depletes the sun and we'll freeze to death.

So more evidence of CCPs reckless disregard for accurate scientific descriptions of nuclear power emerges. Thank you OP for this piece, may CCP one day see the massive irreparable damage they've caused to the popular knowledge of nuclear power.

I recently heard a podcast that covered the use of DU to generate power. Apparently there is enough DU sitting around "to sustain 80% of the world's population at U.S. per capita energy usages for over a millennium". Already there is heavy investment to develop this Technology

Really? Well I suppose, if you mean electricity is harmful I guess at the distribution part

Admitting that you have a problem is the first step to solving it, so good job.

Also, I was toxic long before I ever took myself seriously.

Any energy production from a depleting source will face a 0% efficiency as soon as we run out of material to burn. The only sources that can be considered to last forever are the sun (direct, wind and water) and gravity (tides) because if we run out of either of those, a lack of energy will be the least of our problems.

Let's talk about Depleted Uranium ammo. As someone that happens to be a part of the nuclear power industry, I'm concerned about the public perception of nuclear power, fissile materials, and nuclear waste. I understand the description of DU ammunition in the game is supposed to be in good fun. However, those with no knowledge of what DU actually is may develop a skewed idea of the nuclear industry that could harm it in the long-term. Considering that nuclear power is the future of large scale power generation, this could have a deleterious effect on its development and deployment.

Depleted uranium is a byproduct of the production of nuclear fuel for use in both reactor cores and weapons. The majority of the mass fraction of DU is comprised of U-238, an isotope of uranium that has only trace radioactivity. It has an enormously long half-life, approximately 4.5 billion years, and thus exposure to DU is not dangerous from a radioactivity standpoint. You will not grow extra limbs, glow in the dark, or inherit superpowers from exposure to DU. The "humourous" quip in the description of DU ammunition in-game is in very poor taste. The controversy surrounding DU is simply because it is toxic - like many other heavy metals, it accumulates in the body and can cause organ failure. However, this is not caused by simply handling it, which the in-game description again implies. Most exposure occurs when DU ammunition hits a target and is sheared into fragments by impact, a process called spalling. Very small particles float in the air, are inhaled or enter the mucous membranes, and can indeed cause health issues. But, aerosolization cannot occur in space.

Please consider updating the description of DU ammunition to be more scientifically accurate. Misinformation is toxic.

Thank you.


soooo you work in the nuclear power industry and don't like the description of an in game item that damn near no one ever reads to begin with?

I work in Law Enforcement, I should make an thread telling CCP how wrong their implementation of CONCORD is because they don't read you your Space-Miranda Rights before blowing up your ship........

You have the right to exist in a vacuum. Anything you say can and will expel any oxygen remaining in your lungs. You have the right to simultaneously boil and freeze to death. If you chose to forgo this right, tough *******, it's gonna happen. Do you understand the rights I have just read to you?
