  • Action-packed tour through the history of one of the most controversial subjects of the 20th
    century - nuclear power - as told by those who experienced it first-hand. Focusing on events in
    the US, UK, France and Germany, it charts its social and political development from the early
    days of post-war atomic euphoria, through to the struggling ‘nuclear renaissance’ of the present
    day.

    A Harvard study attributes around 8 million deaths per year, to burning fossil fuels, and although very low renewables have historically caused more deaths per unit of electricity generated than nuclear energy. Atomic power, despite all the accidents, fear and bad press is the safest and most reliable energy technology.

    BBC 4 did an excellent program called inside sellafield, where the staff were absolutely committed to cleaning it up and fixing the mistakes of the past. Dealing with the waste problem. And the waste is a problem. It showed footage of the huge ponds there that are leaking currently and the robotic arms they use to take out the material to store in concrete boxes on site. The other facility they have reprocesses used fuel and vitrify the 3 percent that’s left (high end waste) and that’s stored in another building on site and it’s more than a swimming pools worth. It’s this part that needs to be solved safely, because Nuclear power is part of the energy solution. Definitely.

    One thing is for certain, we need a form of energy production that emits little to no carbon dioxide. Solar and wind have come a long way and definitely have a role to play in the bigger picture. However they will always be dependent upon the weather. Fusion is and often jokingly always said to be 20 years away. Traditional nuclear energy must be given a second look. Thorium seems to hold a lot of potential and so does modular reactor technology.

      I would say we need an energy economy that produces NO toxic byproducts. Carbon is certainly the buzzword of the day, but _current_ generation nuclear power creates some of the nastiest stuff in the universe. It doesn't matter that it's "low volume", or great efforts are taken to safely contain that waste (most of the time, anyway... there have been the notable oopsies over the decades) when it remain dangerous well beyond any human understanding. Fusion would be a good option... if we can ever crack that nut. As you mention, thorium is the path we should've always taken, but people funding the (early) research want to make bombs, and thorium reactors can't do that.

      Well, that's the results of anti-nuclear, NIMBY's going back to the 70's. We (US) have only built (or "finished") a few new reactors in decades. Plenty were licensed for construction ~20 years ago, but all of them were canceled or abandoned. As far as I've followed, only _one_ new reactor has joined the US grid. Vogtle was an 80's construction that was "going to be" completed, but as you mention still isn't.

Every utility quotes costs, and power need projections for the reasons - even back in the 70's - because they don't want to admit public opposition has any effect.

    1) The number of deadly nuclear power accidents can be counted on one hand, actually, one finger, Chernobyl. Those that caused a serious release of radiation into the environment can be counted on two hands, the majority of which were early experimental reactor accidents. Only Chernobyl and Fukushima were true nuclear disasters. 1a) Chernobyl's accident was caused by incompetent operations employees doing a very dangerous test incorrectly, a test that would never have been tried anywhere else other than with a small, experimental reactor. 1b) The RBMK reactor design built at Chernobyl was an inherently unstable design with no redundancy built in. Only the old Soviet Union ever built this type of reactor, most of which have been shut down long ago. 1c) Today's modern reactor designs are stable using basic physics principles that make them inherently stable, the main thing that needs to be controlled is keeping the coolant pressurization, levels, and flow.
    2) Far more deaths, injuries, illness, and environmental damage has been caused by fossil fuel use in the same period of time that nuclear power has been in existence.
    3) The physical amount of nuclear waste that has ever been produced can fit into a single sports stadium. Most of it is lower-level waste, the really nasty stuff can fit into one olympic swimming pool.

      Greenpeace also highlighted fossil fuels. Sadly, fossil fuels have a higher installed base, and are three times cheaper than nuclear, so they have been harder to shift.
      That is changing. The renewables that were made fun of in the 20th century have gotten progressively better and cheaper.
      New generation is increasingly renewable, fossil new build is slowing and nuclear has been in decline for thirty years.

    Hmm doesnt really sound like an objective coverage. I think what the people say should be weighted more proper with the facts. E.g. the explosion in Tjernobyl wasnt a nuclear explosion, but a steam explosion. And "doing homework and finding the danger" doesnt really sound like doing your homework well. Whats the alternative? Coal, Gas? Both increase the radiotion level of the environment way more, let alone the particulate matter it releases. An objective story would weigh both sides.

The same one who limited funding for the development of the Space Shuttle with the result of lowering safety and making the program cost more in the long run? Or perhaps the same president that spread the lie that giving the rich more money by lowering their taxes and breaking up unions that were fighting for their fair share of the profits in the form of better pay and benefits on the hope that these same greedy self centered individuals will share those benefits with the workers that were being exploited by those same rich business owners?

    Years later he developed cancer and when he died, a box of teeth and whole fingernails and toe nails were found in his desk drawer. He and his wife had one child but he had some birth defects.
    Side note: There was a literal lead brick that was used as a door stop in the copier room of the office.
    Someone along the line found out its origins and was concernes that it was probably radioactive so they a count on it and pretty soon it was removed.
    The real kicker was, it was an Engineering college that studied metals.

      I belong to a group of people that listen only to most of the videos on RUclips in the background while doing other things, especially when the video is more informative than entertaining such as this one. Rather than addressing the difference in preferences, you insult @shahidanwer72475. Do you lack understanding of that preference or insist on forcing others to adopt your choice by attempting to shame them? The editor / editors on this channel often do a bad job on these videos by elevating the volume of the music over the speakers making it difficult to hear what they are saying. I put up with this annoyance because I enjoy the information presented. I value my time and multitask while listening. To each their own,

    Stop Press! What an incredible ‘co-incidence’ that a few weeks after the blockbuster anti-nuclear-power movie ‘The China Syndrome’ came out, an almost impossible ‘valve failure’ occured at three mile island. Oh, and the other amazing ‘co-incidence’ was that the relevant ‘alarm indicator’ in the control room was ‘invisible’ due to a label covering it that related to some kind of service. Had the indicator been seen, we would never have heard about a dangerous accident because it could have been dealt with quickly. At the time Nuclesr was on a role, being more reliable, polution free, and competatively priced than coal, oil and gas. This amazing set of coincidences had unbelievably bad consequences for Nuclesr, and saved ‘big fossil’ ... WHAT A COINCIDENCE!

      @WilliamDiederich 8 месяцев назад

      Nuclear waste is a red herring, as solutions are already available. Second, nuclear waste decays over time. The waste from mining and building solar panels and batteries doesn't decay, those hazardous elements will be around forever; and carelessly stored around the world making for thousands of toxic waste sites. All the high-level nuclear fuel ever created could fit on a football field stacked 50ft high. That could all be buried in situ at the nuclear power plant. Problem solved.
