Never understood the enviro whackos against nukes. They'd rather cover hundreds of thousands of acres of land with heavy metal laden solar panels than put up a few clean safe nukes. Just more idiocy from that mob.

I don't think you go the memo on Nuclear Waste....Nuclear power is extremely efficient and very clean. Obviously we should take extreme measures to protect them, but there really aren’t many negatives provided they are contained.
running out of room for nuclear waste? france recycles it's nuclear waste, which like our nuclear waste, will fit inside one football field. I guess france only has one small cave, the size of one football field and will not be recycling nuclear waste?
we never stored the "waste", at yucca mountain.
I dont understand why people call it a problem, spent fuel can be burnt up in a breeder reactor which will turn it into new fuel for another cycle. Sounds like we can reuse the "waste" at least twice. Three cycles of of one fuel bundle. Sounds great.
As far as disposal, we simply need to design a reactor that consumes 100% of the fuel, and we have.
Long term storage? Leave it one site, what does that hurt?
France recycles the waste. Waste is not a problem. Dry storage, heat is not a problem. Above or below ground.Fuel reprocessing i.e. your recycling creates a lot of high level radioactive waste. France, unlike the US, doesn't allow radioactive waste to be stored above ground on the site of the nuclear reactors in dry storage casks. Once underground HLW builds up heat. They can only put so much in one location before it becomes an oven.

You are welcome. Anytime you wish to be corrected simply post again and I will gladly educate you.Thanks for proving you have no idea no idea what the hell you are talking about.
France has vowed to build more nuclear reactors in order to be carbon neutral by 2050.
President Emmanuel Macron, making the announcement in a nationwide address on Tuesday, said it would also help the country achieve "energy independence".
Unlike many of its European neighbours, which are moving away from nuclear, France will build its first new reactors in decades....France already has 56 operational reactors and derives about 70% of its electricity from nuclear energy,

Putin pressar gaspriset | SvD
Gaspriset faller markant. En orsak är att ryssarna släppt på kranarna till EU-marknaden via Polen, Belarus och Ukraina. Gasflödet västerut är nu det största på flera veckor, men fortfarande lägre än i september, innan den mer oroande energikrisen tog fart med rejält stigande gas- och elpriser i...www-svd-se.translate.goog
Great News for our Liberal order , the terrible news for oriental despots ! Will USA Follow France Lead ?
France reprocesses the waste...huge difference.running out of room for nuclear waste? france recycles it's nuclear waste, which like our nuclear waste, will fit inside one football field. I guess france only has one small cave, the size of one football field and will not be recycling nuclear waste?
The issues aren't exactly as clear cut as they once were.I must admit that I don't know a whole lot about nuclear in today's terms and what advancments have been made. But, it sounds like a lot of the waste issues are either solved, or well on their way to being solved....
I would be absolutely more happy with more nuclear than seeing wind, and solar farms everywhere....
Or you didn't.I don't think you go the memo on Nuclear Waste....
On the economic point, that would be a huge difference compared to oil. Oh, wait.The issues aren't exactly as clear cut as they once were.
The mining of uranium is problematic...requiring boric acid....hundreds of thousands of gallons of the stuff that often gets left as unrecovered and waste.
Then there's the economic issues...a lot of uranium is in locations where human rights violation and wars are common. Most of the money is used from mining uranium to promote these things.

Certainly other renewable sources are not subject to this problem, wind and sunlight are everywhere, but if we want to move the entire grid to something that is more environmentally friendly wind and solar are not going to get the job done. Nuclear seems to be the best alternative as the backbone of the grid.
Nuclear power is one of the most expensive means of generating energy...granted our government is always trying to reinvent the wheel every time we build one which makes it even moreso. But it isn't exactly inexpensive and is subject to being used as a weapon of mass destruction even from weather incidents or natural disasters. (Fukushima)Wind and solar are failures.......ask the British.......
Nuclear is the way to go, or the next tech that achieves the same or better quality for less cost......

Petroleum products are 100% utilized...crude oil doesn't have waste. There exists a product for every form of petroleum pumped out of the ground.
