- natch 6y agoI don't think the numbers for cement use by nuclear include the cement used for the sarcophagus at the end of the lifetime. But they should, if you want to talk about validity.
- Kuinox 6y ago> I don't think. They do.
- natch 6y agoSource? I doubt it.
- Kuinox 6y agoInstead of doubting, and thinking based belief, maybe you should verify ? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Life-cycle_greenhouse_gas_emissions_of_energy_sources#Nuclear_life-cycle_breakdown_sample https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Life-cycle_greenhouse_gas_emis... The wikpedia source give a breakdown of how the CO2 per kwh is calculated for a Sweden nuclear plant, it take everything in account, the building, nuclear fuel processing and storage, and even the electricity distribution to the grid. Then, no sarcophagus are built at the end of the nplant timelife, they built ont for chernobyl, that all.
