you should be very careful with 'papers' written by people that stayed at the core of Danish antinuclear movement like Henrik Lund (famous “for me, nuclear power is not a dream. It’s a nightmare. My dream is renewable energy”, but

taxes are needed to fund infrastructure or pay curtailment

evacuation in Fukushima was forced. They could have stayed just as well - dose was too small. Statistically nuclear is great. Even more so considering fossil firming strategy in many countries

ah yes, green fuel like dirt cheap H2 and irrelevant emissions from multi GW of gas/coal firming... I'm not sure what you mean by a boner for nuclear, but we see France has one of the lowest emissions in EU, did teh job in under 2

nuclear isnt fully safe, but it's fine https://ourworldindata.org/safest-sources-of-energy And enviromental impact is low too https://unece.org/sites/default/files/2022-04/LCA_3_FINA

water isn't an issue. You can use cooling towers, wastewater or even dry cooling

Yes, we do look at numbers https://ourworldindata.org/safest-sources-of-energy Germany doesnt want the waste storage to be found. Otherwise it'll just allow storing in Herfa Neurode. What you think is absurd or not is

yes, plants are cheap, yes, manageable, yes - onkalo, yes - Sweden has one of the largest deposits on the planet and mining ban got removed this year. If you are concerned about uranium you better be concerned about other materials more, si

iodine pills are given pretty much everywhere in a vicinity of npp's not just Belgium. Operating them further is sane if it's safe. Cracks were proven to not be relavant

"The average capacity factor for the French nuclear fleet has been, due to the optimised management of production," - lol, lmao even. Optimized management in france? Check out how much their refuel outages take vs in US and say th

You talk about new projects based on Vogtle costs. You need to look at the Lazard lcoe for existing fleet which didnt have such delays. Fukushima cleanup could have costed much less. Jp govt wanted it to be expensive. "They dont want

oh we know. Chernobyl is pretty much the worst case scenario. It's impossible to replicate it in newer plants (fukushima being proof)

ironically if you talk about boars, it's not because of chernobyl but nuclear weapons tests https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-66665646

for now its incentive for deindustrialization

by Moldoteck 6mo ago
and why are taxes that high. More specifically why is Germany spending 10x more than france on curtailment and transmission?))
227.
by Moldoteck 6mo ago
Not quite. It's done to save fish. And it's not fixed because France is already maxing exports in the same period

Germany has highest avg household prices in EU per eurostat. How convenient of you to focus on this day. Btw, this minus 500eur translates in about 18bn/y in subsidies for EEG. DE already spent on it alone double the price of entire fr

you should check out TWh/y of clean power in Portugal/DK vs UAE and say this again)

not if you read fraunhofer ise decarbonization pathways report. If you dont like nuclear and have no hydro, it basically means fossils

what has fukushima to do with storing nuclear waste. I'll go further and ask how many did fukushima kill with radioation or will kill per unscear? Better reactors were already invented (superphenix, snr300). Both killed by greens.

Belgian plants arent crumbling, they just need refurbs to have higher CF. Uranium is sufficient to outlive the sun. Nuclear requires least amount of materials and mining. Uranium mining is nowadays mostly in situ which is environmentally fi

very little supply chain is shared with weapons, dont spread nonsense. If you want weapons it's far cheaper to have just an enrichement facility exactly for that. And nuclear is cheap. Look at lazard estimate for existing fleet. Or ope

1 - fusion reactor in the sky is not that easy to capture 24/7 due to nights/winter. BESS can partially alleviate the problem, not solve it. 2 - geothermal has an inconvenient property to lower output over time. 3 - nuclear requi

it's strange you mention HPC but dont mention the costs of chinese nuclear... British taxpayer will pay even more pr kwh for some offshore and tidal projects

put some generators on roof. Generator placement in Jp was based on BWRs placement in US - underground, which is sane considering tornados and stuff. But it wasnt adapted there

by Moldoteck 6mo ago
the cost problem is lost experience to build stuff. It's not like berlins airport is so expensive because of new whistles. Many western nations forgot to build. Japanese ABWR has a lower core damage frequency vs french EPR yet EPR took

It's impossible for germany to have such a combo in any economical way.

by Moldoteck 6mo ago
it depends if you like gas firming or not. France doesnt. Germany loves it

by Moldoteck 6mo ago
yep. On the other hand, interestingly, most nuclear deaths are from Fukushima evacuation which wasnt necessary, due to too small dose
