ensure that power plants use cogeneration methods to minimize waste heat develop uses for nuclear waste products significantly reduce use of those energy production methods that are major contributors to global warming, or develop technical solutions that curb releases of those materials that produce glob...
Brazil's desired sustainable economic development, consumption of electric power is expected to continue at a high rate of growth, generally above that of the GDP. A major effort has been made over the last decade to u...
三:事故与灾难。 Over sixty years of nuclear power usage, there have been seven major accidents in reactors or facilities dealing with nuclear waste. Three of those were mostly contained but four of them released significant amounts of radioactivity into the environment. In 1957, 1987 and 2011. ...
Fox replaces the misconceptions about nuclear power with real science, and argues that it may be the best source of energy both for large-scale use and slowing the effects of global warming. Fox relies on thirty-five years of experience studying the biological effects of radiation to explore ...
somewhere on earth every 10 years? What area would have to be contaminated so we say no more? Where is the line?So, should we use nuclear energy? The risks may outweigh the benefits and maybe we should stop looking into this direction and drop this technology for good.
How nuclear compares to other energy sources: investment, generation, emissions, resources and land use The International Energy Agency (IEA) stated in its recent report, Nuclear Power and Secure Energy Transitions (2022), that: "achieving net zero globally will be harder without nuclear." Employin...
The commercial nuclear power plants that exist today generate electricity through nuclear fission reactions. In these reactions, heavier atoms (often uranium-235) are split into smaller atoms. A small amount of mass is converted to energy in this process and this energy is used ...
Only last week did we develop penicillin andtelevision and nuclear power, and now if America's new spacecraft succeeds inreaching Venus, we will literally reached the stars before midnight tonight. 仅仅上周我们才发明了盘尼西林(即青霉素,译者注),电视与核能。如果现在美国最新的飞船能够成功抵达金星,那...
We have some good reasons to completely switch over to solar power. It's cheaper in many cases, and definitely more sustainable than our dependance on traditional power plants that use resources like coal, which will eventually run out. So why don't we replace these traditional plants with ...
A rather unknown, but real effect of America’s response to 9-11 was a sharp reduction in the ability of the nuclear power industry to share its own story through the use of plant tours and well designed, site located visitor centers. The security restrictions imposed as a result of the ...
