Welcome to r/science! This is a heavily moderated subreddit in order to keep the discussion on science. However, we recognize that many people want to discuss how they feel the research relates to their own personal lives, so to give people a space to do that, personal anecdotes are allowed as responses to this comment. Any anecdotal comments elsewhere in the discussion will be removed and our normal comment rules apply to all other comments.

Detecting neutrinos from a reactor 240 km away is impressive.

Just wait for 100 years water will be the new oil

No.
Oceans are everywhere, and Uranium will be a cheap byproduct of the desalination required to feed the agriculture of the world.
Contrast those costs with the costs of deep rock mining for pitchblende.

Now I can FINALLY detect my precious neutrinos!

Now what are we supposed to do with all of this carbon tetrachloride?

Researchers have captured the signal of neutrinos from a nuclear reactor using a water-filled neutrino detector, a first for such a device. The finding offers the possibility of making neutrino detectors from a nontoxic material that is easy to handle and inexpensive to obtain.
