6. Carbon-Equivalent Emissions and Air Pollution There is no such thing as a zero- or close-to-zero emission nuclear power plant. Even existing plants emit due to the continuous mining and refining of uranium needed for the plant. Emissions

7. Waste Risk Last but not least, consumed fuel rods from nuclear plants are radioactive waste. Most fuel rods are stored at the same site as the reactor that consumed them. This has given rise to hundreds of radioactive waste sites in many

2. Cost The levelized cost of energy (LCOE) for a new nuclear plant in 2018, based on Lazard, is $151 (112 to 189)/MWh. This compares with $43 (29 to 56)/MWh for onshore wind and $41 (36 to 46)/MWh for utility-scale solar PV

4. Meltdown Risk To date, 1.5% of all nuclear power plants ever built have melted down to some degree. Meltdowns have been either catastrophic (Chernobyl, Russia in 1986; three reactors at Fukushima Dai-ichi, Japan in 2011) or damaging (Thr

The link was there mostly for cladding of rods thats corroding.

Wont happen, there are much more nuclear plants set to be closed than created.

Happily the most important group is turning away from nuclear. Its investors. We all know that if big investors and countries will turn away from certain tech then it will simply and slowly (or hopefully as fast as possible) die. And more a

As wumpus said, we will never know about many soviet accidents. Im not sure ifnin today's russia or china such incidents... I think ifnthey could they try to hide it.

Hiding problems from sight doesnt solve them. It justs hides them. Its like a temporary patch, but the ground will be radiated for long time. What then? Another spot? Then again in another spot? So my and your grandchildren will basically h

and what happens with concrete when the ground trembles...? it breaks. apart of that concrete is still damaged by radiation and such wholes and concrete needs to be redone after some years (there's already second one i chernobyl). and

I know, there's a smiliar experiment in states. But you're providing wrong data, from wrong years and for insiginificant amounts of radiation, nothing compare to fallout from atomic accident. The original statistical data for each

Same here, got some stuff that is years and years old (jumpers and hoodies that i have since 15 years). Stopped flying too :) I think much more people are starting to think like that (especially young ones) so we have a chance :)

The solution is not atomic. the solution is smaller consumption. moving to slower travel (for sure?) with trains instead of cars (and that would reduce microplastics in sea cause its already proven tyres are biggest source of it). wear a ts

It's really easier to get rid of carbon than get rid of atomic waste. And i don't defend carbon, im for wind and solar as safer than two mentioned above. And you dont count deformations that came after. There's lots of it if

I was born before explosion in Czarnobyl, roughly 600km away from Czarnobyl (that's the original name). It was 28th April 1986, early morning in Poland. The radiation monitoring station in Mikołajki, Mazury area (north-eastern region o

The problem with that stuff is that it's not about IF another earthquake will happen in that area. It's a matter of WHEN that will happen... and it will :(

It's great idea to store atomic waste in place where we have major tectonic faults... and 3 tectonic plates edges... in a country with history of earthquakes... and most earthquakes on earth. So smart! Every good hacker and every good

It's about manned missions. The weight of materials needed to protect them from radiation is just too much with current tech. Here you have the logic.

"Zero people died from the plant." Have you ever searched for czernobyl victims? I advice it, but only if you have strong nerves. Especially those poor kids...

No1 says we should go coal instead of atom. We should go GREEN and BLUE (water) all the way and as hard as we can. They're SAFE energy sources. And as many said. Burying nuclear waste in ground is not the solution. If something we sho

So lets make internet paid, track everyone and control what and who posts on spammy blogs. For sure dictators would like that idea... Ohhh, wait, its already happening! Great China firewall, censorship and new restrictions on using VPN&#x2
