I didn't fall into the trap. Objective reality isn't political. The total number of people killed in nuclear accidents divided by TWh generated is pretty objective.
- dieortin 4y agoNot when deaths caused by nuclear energy are incredibly hard to quantify.
- arcticbull 4y agoAre they though? Do you have some quantification of that difficulty? Any studies? Any citations to back up your thesis?
- dieortin 4y agoWhen someone is exposed to radiation and dies of cancer many years later it’s impossible to know whether he’s a victim of radiation or just unlucky. As simple as that.
- oezi 4y agoUnfortunately despite the track record nuclear won't make a revival. The planning cycles for new plants are just too long. Renewables will yet again half in price by the time you could just build another nuclear plant. That's why really nobody is trying anymore.
- LargoLasskhyfv 4y agoIs that still true for mass produced SMRs ('small' modular reactors)? That don't rely on special forges, of which we don't have much? Isn't that the promise of all those startups from the sector? Regardless of exact model and technology? True production lines like in shipyards, maybe more airplane-/carfactory like? Instead of almost 'artisanal' 'one-offs', like it is now, even though they have common design elements?
