Re: World's largest nuclear power plant.



What's the total surface area, birth to grave of everything involved
with Kashiwazaki-Kariwa 8212 MW(e) from those seven reactors?

Please don't use any Arthur Andersen accounting, as I want to see
everything from soup to nuts, including the mineral/element
excavations, various transportings, required processings, other
storage, transporting and off-loading aspects, the required
infrastructure of the entire package that obviously has to include
those proprietary roads, rail and shipping, plus obviously spent core
burial sites and of all their associated DMZ, as well as for what's
accommodating their basic reactors.

How much if any of their wast heat is getting reutilized?

I'm actually pro-nuclear, thus I'm not one of those trying to prove
that nuclear energy is a bust, I'm just attempting at being honest as
to the real world end-product and of what the actual cost and/or return
is all about, including the rather massive amounts of additional space
required that's entirely external to those massive reactor sites. I'm
trying to pin down the honest energy density payback/m2, as in
discovering if we're talking about 2 kw/m2, 4 kw/m2 or whatever.
