Uranium: Safely and Efficiently Powering the Future [View article]
Nuclear power must be very bad...don't you all remember that fictional movie about a power plant that melted down????
Nuclear power must be very bad...don't you remember how a grossly horrible Russian designed plant melted down????
So lets base our opinon on one stupid experience and one fictional experience...in effect that is what all the anti-nuke people have done.
I can't point to a reference source but the amount of waste generated by a nuke installation is really quite small and we have vast waste land areas in the U.S. where these materials can be safely stored indefinitely.
Of course zero-point energy or some such similar energy source is what everyone is looking for but in the meantime a combo of fossil fuels, other alternatives and nukes is alll thats available to us. If we want to continue to live in an advanced society we had better embrace all of them....the alternative to this is just too dismal to contemplate.
