A nuclear submarine may have 99 problems but refuelling ain't one

When 74% of French energy come from uranium : sweat intensively

Uranium fever has come and got me down

You would have no healthcare, you would most likely starve, but most importantly, no submarines!

[knickknack]

You might not be able to get medicine but most importantly the underwater boats gotta refuel more

The submarine in the middle of the Atlantic: 👁👄👁

[spartainwarrior]

He missess the biggest part, the core of the earth would cool down and we would fucking die because of the tectonic plates shifting

Nuclear submarines do refuel, and it’s an insane process

[hyperbolicparaboloid]

All my post-apocalyptic survival fantasies would collapse.

[Gfayeadfvsthhfs]

What about the nuclear power plants? There would be massive power outages around the world.

they do refuel, normally combined with a big overhaul. early subs needed to be refuled every few years.

Chemistry would likely change entirely. Depending on how it’s absence is dealt with, this could lead to entirely new stable elements, or new decay processes, both of which would entirely change our understanding of physics/chemistry, possibly allowing for new technologies.

The thing is if we used only natural uranium isotopes in our reactors, all the reserves would've ended in around 50 years. That's why we have things called breeder reactors that turn certain nuclear elements such as thorium to uranium. So if uranium disappeared, it would only be a matter of time before it came back with the breeder reactors. Yes the demand would be huge while supply will be very low, still we would have uranium.

Bro basically said without it, we would starve, then blatantly stated that that not having a stupid submarine would be the worst part💀😂

[philswift]

The last one is only partially true, new us nuclear submarines do have life of ship reactors but other countries and older vessels dont
