But do you even know that this very waste will become fuel for breeder reactors. We have sufficient radioactive "waste" (fuel) to sustain the entire world for 300 years with no need to mine further Uranium. Breeders generate no long term nuclear waste. So your problem is solved. <BR/><BR/>Please check the following reactor types : <A HREF="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integral_fast_reactor" REL="nofollow">integral fast reactor</A>, <A HREF="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LFTR" REL="nofollow">liquid flouride thorium reactor</A>.Ray Lightninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08882462553270746059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6014397.post-51305092614767908492008-08-24T21:16:00.000-07:002008-08-24T21:16:00.000-07:00While I think your rosy vision of Nuclear Energy i...While I think your rosy vision of Nuclear Energy is exaggerated but yes it is true that Nuclear Energy has lesser carbon emissions than coal or other fossil fuels. So switching to it as an option makes sense if our only other choice is coal. This might be a good read for you. <A HREF="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_power#Solid_waste" REL="nofollow">Radioactive Waste</A>Navneethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08803890842816858000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6014397.post-18035125424379657532008-05-10T08:27:00.000-07:002008-05-10T08:27:00.000-07:00As long as there is a huge lobby in governments of...As long as there is a huge lobby in governments of countries who "rule the game" when it comes to energy resources like coal, oil and gas, there will be lots and lots of dirty PR against nuclear power. Nuclear also has its drawbacks but the humanity did not invent any better so far, as they say.<BR/>Even in the world's most democratic democracies it's not the people who decide :) the governments are just too good in persuading the public that it's the people who have the power.Alexandra Prokopenkohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13558622592614895887noreply@blogger.com
