Steel is by definition *not* pure. It is an alloy of iron doped with a small percentage of carbon and some combination of other elements in order to achieve the desired properties. In the ideal case the starting iron is as nickel-free and pure as possible, and likewise the alloying metals, so perhaps that's what you mean by "pure".
>>
>>524325732
You're right that steel is an alloy; it's intentionally doped with carbon (~0.2%) and other elements (Mn, Ni, Mo, Cr) for strength and toughness in grades like SA-508 Gr.3 used for RPVs. When people (including industry reports and manufacturers like Japan Steel Works) say "ultra-pure" or "ultra-clean" steel for nuclear forgings, they mean the base melt has exceptionally low residual impurities like phosphorus (P < 0.010%), sulfur (S < 0.005%), copper (Cu < 0.05%), and other tramp elements that cause neutron-induced embrittlement over decades. These impurities accelerate radiation hardening and brittle fracture risk, so modern RPV steels are made with vacuum degassing, electroslag remelting, etc., to hit those ultra-low levels; way cleaner than standard structural steels. It's not about being "pure iron"; it's about minimizing the bad stuff that neutrons love to mess with. The intentional alloys stay, the garbage gets purged.

>>
>>524325417
Cool story Bro
>>
>>524325990
Yeah, pretty much. it's not one single massive forging from a single ingot like some sci-fi monolith, but the key parts (especially the cylindrical shell around the core) are made from a handful of huge seamless forged rings, each one shaped from a 400-600 ton ultra-clean steel ingot under insane 12,000–15,000 ton presses. Those rings get stacked and welded together circumferentially (horizontal welds only), with zero longitudinal seams in the critical "beltline" region where neutron radiation hits hardest. That's why it's way safer than older designs that used welded plates with vertical seams everywhere. The heads (top and bottom domes) are often single-piece forgings too. Basically, it's as close to a "single piece of forged steel" as you can get for something the size of a house that has to survive decades of neutron bombardment without cracking. That's also why only a few mega-forges on Earth (mostly JSW in Japan, some in China/Russia/Korea) can make them, it's nation-level heavy industry.

I think most countries would be capable of building such presses but there is no motivation to build them, probably cheaper to get them forged in Japan or whatever country.
Example, America is capable of building such huge presses if the finances are available:

COMMERCIAL NUCLEAR POWER GENERATION
Lehigh Heavy Forge produces a full range of forgings for the commercial nuclear power industry including; steam generators, pressure vessels, reactor vessels, and storage casks. All of these components are forged, heat treated, tested, and finished machined in accordance with a quality system compliant with the ASME Code Section III, NCA 3800 and RCC-M specifications.

Shells including integral nozzles
Heads/Domes
Tube sheets
Closure heads
Flanges
Risers
Support Skirts
Storage Casks

its not even "tech" that the US leads on, but SPECIFIC tech, like social medias, mass storage, consumer and server grade processing chips.
EU still does military chips, automotive chips, automation chips, communication (erricson, nokia), Dram, 4G/Radio/wireless, satellites.
ASML isn´t even the only one thats important in global production, Zeiss is just as important if you want optical zoom that can 600x an image from a satellite to earth.

I process through my line 40,000,000lbs of aluminum a year and the facility I work at is legitimately a small in the industry.

but I thought thats anecdotal and not steel so I googled and the first result

so I respect your concern but see it as potential bs

>>524326267
Lehigh Heavy Forge is ASME N-stamped and does great work on nuclear-grade forgings, no doubt; they make shells with integral nozzles, domes/heads, tube sheets, flanges, etc., all to nuclear specs. But the core bottleneck for large LWR Reactor Pressure Vessels (like AP1000, EPR, VVER) isn't just any nuclear forging; it's the massive seamless rings needed for the beltline section, forged from single 500–670 ton ultra-clean ingots under 14,000–15,000 ton presses to avoid longitudinal welds in the neutron-irradiated zone. Lehigh's biggest press is 10,000 tons and tops out at ~285-ton ingots. That's enough for smaller components or SMR parts (they were tied to B&W's mPower program back in the day), but not the monolithic ultra-heavy rings that Japan Steel Works (JSW), China First Heavy, Doosan, or OMZ Izhora routinely produce for gigawatt-scale reactors. US lost that specific capability when the old Bethlehem-style mega-melt shops and bigger presses shut down decades ago. Lehigh is the last big open-die forge left in the West, but scale matters here.

The boomers were clever in their way. They guessed that they could avoid investing in any of that infrastructure, saving the money for other pleasures and bonuses and pensions and so on, but still get the benefits of that technology for the rest of their lives since it wouldn't run out before they were dead.

And they were about right. The median boomer will be dead by 2035, and it does at least seem like everything will last until then. After that? Well...

Not only that nearly any modern industry has a stupid bottleneck. The chipindustry is completly depended on a german company (zeiss) making mirror. A mirror takes a year and us doesnt allow them to sell to china, thats why no modern chinese chips. The hard disk company is dependend on some area in thailand where they make the needles (years ago there was a flood doubling the prices like forever still not the lowest hd prices per tb restored). And all pharma industry. Like any major medicine needs a base product they produce just on one place on the planet (sometimes india or china kek). It goes on and on

That's just the tip of the iceberg. In Norway, they had to rebuild an entire plant because the contractor used the wrong concrete and didn't know how to make the proper mix.

And by some miracle if it does come back, the products will be expensive and the jobs will pay like shit because of the aforementioned kikes.

I have a question, ostensible citizen of the United States.
Have you ever heard of "Detroit?"
>>
Centralized electrical generating stations, be they powered by fusion or not, will still mean that consumers will have to pay an electric bill. As long as we're developing entirely novel energy-generative technologies, we may as well emphasize methods which eliminate the need to use transmission lines to deliver power. Maintaining transmission lines constitutes the lion's share of cost.

I have devised both an intra-molecular fusion system which is compact and could easily produce enough power for a home when coupled with a thermoelectric plate (I invented the plate as well.) I believe that an even more practical system is one which I term, "gravitothermoelectric" in which the power of the atom is harvested without needing to produce fission or fusion. The discrete gravity of certain ternary chemical compounds can be leveraged in a certain way in conjunction with a photonic catalyst to generate large amounts of heat ultimately derived from gravity.

The current Chinese leadership is crafty and understands how valuable in-house expertise is. They may let your foreign companies and factories in, but only if Chinese workers are staffing them at key points. Once the information on how to copy certain technologies is uncovered and made able to be replicated, that company is booted out with the might of the Chinese state backing its own companies making the same exact shit, just cheaper. It's a simple strategy that works because kikes are fucking retarded parasites that can't think beyond a couple generations, nor in terms of how to actually make shit because of sheer greed and their voracious ethnonarcissism. This is why we can't even properly supply our proxies in Ukraine and Israel, despite those wars being central to maintaining jewish power.

By some definition, sure. But not any time soon. And not without huge amounts of shielding. Its one of the many reasons why Ironmans reactor in his chest is laughably impossible.

As for your point about fissions viably. Fission is still very useful. Our current fissions use material that was going to decay anyway. so you may as well take advantage of it. It also decays into useful materials. Fission power is magnitudes easier to build, maintain and control.
Fission should only be phased out, after we have plenty of fusion.

I agree, but I'm not so concerned about the white race (we're resilient), jews (the whole planet has been exposed to the JQ in the last two years), or America disintegrating to a degree. These are all the side effects of an empire in decline- once the empire falls, real change and growth can begin to occur for the benefits of real Americans, not before. The country doesn't need the empire, quite the opposite of what our "elite" believe.

We make gigawatt size designs just fine without pressure vessels.
>>
>>524325417
I am a metallurgist and 100% agree. That said it's never going to change in the west because our environmental policies and labor policies make it prohibitively expensive to produce these materials domestically. The largest industries left are pseudo subsidized and supported by US government contracts, especiallyfrom the DoD. Otherwise, whether or not you used chatgpt your description of high quality steel is accurate. Get rid if tramp elements (S, P, and Sb especially, Cu and Al above a certain level) and dissolved gases (O, N, H) in small quantities can have large impacts on the properties of the steel, but it is very expensive and capital intensive to reduce them out of the melt. Oh and it is moderately toxic to the enviroment, as much as I'd like it not to be, thermodynamics often makes it very difficult.

>>524356343
CANDU (and other PHWRs) produce gigawatt-scale power (e.g., Bruce Power units at ~800-900 MWe each, Darlington ~880 MWe) without a single massive Reactor Pressure Vessel. Instead, they use hundreds of individual zirconium-alloy pressure tubes (each ~6m long, ~10cm diameter) inside a low-pressure calandria vessel filled with heavy-water moderator. This avoids the need for those 500-600 ton monolithic forgings entirely: one of the big reasons Canada developed the design back in the day. The catch is that the original greentext/post was talking about the supply chain choke for conventional light-water reactors (PWRs/AP1000/EPR/VVER etc.), which make up ~85% of operating reactors worldwide and almost all the big new builds in the West/China. Those do require the mega-forgings from the handful of capable sites (mostly JSW in Japan, China, Korea, Russia). CANDU sidesteps that bottleneck nicely with pressure tubes + on-load refuelling + natural uranium, but it comes with its own trade-offs: heavy water is expensive upfront, and the design hasn't seen many new builds outside Canada/India lately.

We always had the ability to fix the issue, but 90% of the time we're trying to shoe in Aristocrats into companies who have no innovation, with policies that are intentionally designed to gate off competition inside the country on all levels of government.

We'd unironically be better at fighting the Chinese in WW3 if our entire government collapsed. We have all the solutions, but it's more important about making a few rich men even richer than keeping those same rich people alive.

The ultimate end is that when society finally does collapse, it's going to fall on a few individuals to piece the country together again for decades. But I can't see it happening because religious factions are going to fight for power in the bulkanization.

AI is basically creating another China but worse.
You feed all your expertise into machine and then completely abolish the need for developed countries population whatsoever. The only thing that is needed after AI is cheap energy, mineral resources and industry. You can copy AI in a few seconds, you can't transfer the industry and resources.

China is unironically going to be the only country using AI because they have the power to do it. We simply are runninh dry because of the lack of infrastructure in the US and this has even been noted by most CEOs of AI companies.

>>524359153
Because if AGI is reached it will move to China on its own, since it's simply more effective for a tool to operate there. AI race is self-erasure of western societies, you basically distill your every achievement into the code so it can be transferred into other places without the need to pay western people such high salaries. You are destroying yourselves.

America's nuclear reactor housings aren't made of steel, it irradiates too easily. This is like a Bhrrapti bugman seeing intergalactic alien dome cities and saying "hurr hurr they don't even wattle and daub cow shit, they don't even know how to walls"

>bro YES, huge implications if you're actually grinding skills

The real bottleneck isn't just the mega-forges: it's the skilled trades drought. US is about to dump billions into new reactors, SMRs, refurbishments, data center power, etc.
>need thousands of machinists yesterday
>current ratio is like 2-4 open jobs per decent CNC guy
>nuclear sector alone gonna suck up hundreds of thousands of skilled hands by 2030s

Lehigh Heavy Forge (last real US player for nuclear forgings) is begging for machinists to run giant lathes, vertical boring mills, CNC on house-sized parts. Pay fat, overtime guaranteed, benefits based.
Same for any shop doing reactor components, steam generators, pressure vessel finishing.

Once governments start subsidizing new forges (0% loans, grants, tax credits like we greentexted), the rough forgings will flood in -> someone gotta precision machine them to nuclear tolerances (ASME NQA-1, insane QA). That's YOU.

Even without full fix: SMRs, defense, aerospace, energy, all overlapping heavy machining demand exploding.

Pro tips while you're learning:
>get good at large-part CNC (big swings, rigid setups, thermal compensation)
>learn G-code cold, Mastercam or Siemens NX
>blueprint reading for stupid tight tolerances
>bonus points for NDT basics or nuclear quality awareness

You're timing this perfectly. Keep grinding and in 5 years you'll be turning reactor shells while wages moon and everyone else copes with "muh college debt."

Machinist chads eating good in the nuclear renaissance

It doesn't really matter what manufacturers want, if there's no pipeline for producing people with those skills.

If you want to 'keep grinding', then you're going to be making less than a fast food worker for much, much harder work.

The better advice is to accept that the US is going to have NO industry to speak of in our lifetimes, and to skill up for remote working with Chinese and Russian firms.

>>524329529

That happened because USD is the most competitive export of USA. Other nations cannot mint USD. Only USA can mint USD. So the incentive inside USA is to just mint USD send it to Japan/Korea, and get ships, RPVs etc.

The incentive inside USA is to stand close to the money printer, and do high gross margin activities, like politics, NGOs, law, finance, SaaS and biotech.

This is why USA turned into a spreadsheet-manufacturing nation.

Never compare yourself to others anon :). Stop being negative. Just pull yourself up by the bootstraps, greet your boss with a firm handshake and work 13 hours a day.

Others might make much more working less than you but that only means they can never be "proud" of their hard work like you can be.

Honestly we need to move past nuclear to something that doesn’t irradiate a continent for 1000 years if you blow it up with a big enough bomb.

You all larp, but nuclear proliferation, multipolar power centers…something is going to pop eventually and one of those might get hit fucking a huge area. I’m genuinely amazed Ukraine went from drunk Russians fire rpgs at the zap reactor building to now without an incident in Ukraine.

Blah blah blah, and if they want me to work on any component of this the most they'll pay is $14 an hour. Meanwhile 50 C suite executives make $200,000+ salaries to drink coffee remotely. I don't believe scarcity exists as long as jobs don't pay well and/or have shitty working environments.

"The very heavy forging capacity in operation today is in Japan (Japan Steel Works), China (China First Heavy Industries, China Erzhong, SEC), France (Le Creusot), and Russia (OMZ Izhora).

New capacity is being built by JSW and JCFC in Japan, Shanghai Electric Group (SEC) and subsidiaries in China, and in South Korea (Doosan), Czech Rep (Pilsen) and Russia (OMZ Izhora and ZiO-Podolsk).

New capacity is planned in UK (Sheffield Forgemasters) and India (Larsen & Toubro, Bharat Heavy Electricals, Bharat Forge Ltd). In China the Harbin Boiler Co. and SEC subsidiary SENPE are increasing capacity.

Nothing in North America currently approaches these enterprises.* The changed position of the USA is remarkable. In the 1940s it manufactured over 2700 Liberty ships, each 10,800 tonne DWT – possibly pioneering modular construction at that scale (average construction time was 42 days in the shipyard). In the 1970s it had a substantial heavy infrastructure, but today China, Japan, South Korea, India, Europe and Russia are all well ahead of it. Steelmaker ArcelorMittal, based in Luxembourg, now owns the US company which built most US reactor pressure vessels in the 1970s-1980s."

You are an idiot

"Reactor vendors prefer large forgings to be integral, as single products, but it is possible to use split forgings which are welded together. These welds then need checking through the life of the plant. Also, whereas Generation II reactors might require some 2000 tonnes of forgings, EPR and AP1000 units require about twice the amount.

Westinghouse says that the minimum requirement for making the largest AP1000 components is a 15,000 tonne press taking 350 tonne ingots.

The very heavy forging capacity in operation today is in Japan (Japan Steel Works), China (China First Heavy Industries, China Erzhong, SEC), France (Le Creusot), and Russia (OMZ Izhora)."
