      This is also an issue among many other issues regarding lithium battery disposal. When AOC was questioned in Congress. She asked why batteries could not be recycled and response was the cost to recycle batteries out ways the expense. I wished these ppl researched with technologists before demanding changes where they do not fully understand the subject at hand! Really I believe this is more about making the money and not the planet! Otherwise why would you demand changes without researching and understanding the over all process?

    I grew up in California USA. We have a nuclear plant right in our area. It has been online since I was in grade school. I am 55 now. Even today it produces 1.7TWh of power annually. Altamont Pass wind farm outside of Oakland only produces 1.1 TWh of power, and it takes up far more space. Nuclear energy is the way to go if you want to help the environment and improve power production.

    • @pin65371
      @pin65371 Месяц назад +3

      I live in Alberta Canada. There are data sets that show power production by source for an entire year. I added up the production of power for renewables for a year and all the renewables in Alberta produced 25% of the power of the Bruce Power nuclear site in Ontario Canada. The Bruce Power site is 2200 acres. There is one solar plant in Alberta that is 3300 acres. I dont get how anyone can think that renewables are the better option? One other advantage of nuclear is usually they are well paying long term union jobs. Its also inside work for the most part so weather is not an issue. The communities around a nuclear power plant usually benefit. At Bruce Power there are families where the grandpa was there when it opened and has retired now. The dads are starting to retire now and their kids are working at the same plant.

    Personally coal and gas as it was
    But if need to use alternative nuclar
    As its long term power
    Not short term high maintenance
    20 yrs at best how much going to cost to replace them
    How much then because of product andcwage rises in that time
    Just look how much everything gone up since their been in control
    Itll only get worse so where's the money coming to replace them at new higher prices
    As we'll be still paying of the ones needing replacement if not destroyed by weather fire floods hail beforehand
    All for intermittent power let alone the environmental wilderness and wildlife destruction not to mention food production
    Nuclar use the current system only thing changes is what make the steam to turn the turbines to generate power
    Thats all Nuclar does boil water just as coal and gas has been proven to work no risks like renewables
    If you feel that concerned about it your still able to put solar on your rooftop
    Surely multiple souces of power is better then relying on one that way should one fail their are backups
    This is a specially in case of war or weather conditions
    Like i mentioned above so just for the security along Nuclar has to part of the mix
    To myself its a no brainer to go Nuclar then with guaranteed power load and cheaper power
    People may feel more inclined to buy atleast one electric vehicle especially in city area's
    But no power and whats available way to expensive people can even heat themselves or cook even have light on
    So never going to buy electric vechiles

Even if you had a nuclear accident every year it would likely kill less than 500,000. Just in those terms, nuclear is safer, but there are a bunch of nuclear plants that are running on old tech cause of government redtape, and they could even be safer if they could be modernized. The problem is nuclear is not profitable enough, it provides so much energy for cheap and is safer and cleaner than almost everything else. Governments and big business will continue to push the anti-nuclear story cause it protects their financial interests.

It can be longer if the process is required to protect Public Health or safety. A 50 year break is required for radioactive decay and 10 years is required to dismantle the facility. This is a very costly exercise. A renewable power station does not require a complicated process such as this for decommissioning.

      And what about those cadmium infused solar panels?
      From Google. "Long-term exposure to cadmium through air, water, soil, and food leads to cancer and organ system toxicity such as skeletal, urinary, reproductive, cardiovascular, central and peripheral nervous, and respiratory systems. Cadmium levels can be measured in the blood, urine, hair, nail and saliva samples."

Minerals that do not decay and permanently turn that land toxic and unusable for life. Don't believe me, google it. America now has over 2000 acres of solar farm that can not be used for life because one single hailstorm destroyed the solar panels, releasing these minerals into the soil. Permanently contaminating the area and making it unusable for life. This is only one area of many where this has happened.

    Nuclear Reactors use Ionizing radiation which is not immediately detectable by human senses, so instruments such as Geiger counters are used to detect and measure it. However, very high energy particles can produce visible effects on both organic and inorganic matter (e.g. water lighting in Cherenkov radiation) or humans (e.g. acute radiation syndrome).
    Exposure to ionizing radiation causes cell damage to living tissue and organ damage. In high acute doses, it will result in radiation burns and radiation sickness, and lower level doses over a protracted time can cause cancer.

      Luckily no one works inside a nuclear reactor hey? What’s your point? Nuclear is safe. Statistics prove this beyond a shadow of a doubt.
      Solar panels contain arsenic. Why don’t you tell us what that does to the body?
      Solar panels are safe.
      Your logic is flawed and so is your argument.

    The LNP must have consulted a 17 year old kid about locating Nuclear Reactors in Loy Yang - Victoria, Port Augusta - South Australia and Callide / Gladstone - Queensland as these locations are listed Geological / Earthquake Risk Zones. The location of Lithgow is subject to Low Ground Water concerns.
    There has been a catastrophic failure of a Nuclear Power Station in Japan called Fukushima which was caused by an Earthquake / Tsunami.
    The LNP has obviously not performed any form of Risk Assessment - does the LNP have a suitable disaster plan for such an event as the one that occurred in Japan?

      The Fukushima reactor was an ancient design. New reactors have been designed to specifically avoid issues in the event of a Fukushima like situation.
      To quote from WSL:
      "The tsunami exposed an Achilles heel in the design of some of the plants: the questionable placement of a single kitchen-table-size electric-switching station. At newer plants, the station was in a robust building that also housed the reactor. In others, it stood in a poorly protected outbuilding-a relic of the original design. When the tsunami hit, those switches were knocked out, rendering operating generators useless."
      "The company used two different designs for safeguarding its 10 reactors in Fukushima. When the devastating quake struck on March 11, the five reactors with the newer design withstood the resulting 45-foot tsunami without their vital cooling systems failing. Those reactors shut down safely.
      But the cooling systems failed at four reactors with the older design."
      Japan's nuclear industry has also suffered from another issue. The Yakuza is directly affiliated with staffing many nuclear plants and has placed incompetent and untrained workers in those positions while violating labor laws. After Fukushima and a yakuza boss named Makoto Owada was arrested for supplying workers to TEPCO. Australia does not have the same problems with organized crime.

      Did anyone perform a risk assessment on you before allowing you into this world? 😂
      All of what you posted was nonsense. Fukushima survived the magnitude 9 earthquake without damage. If you actually educated yourself on the triple meltdown you would know that.
      But you clearly don’t know anything about risk either. The nuclear industry and nuclear engineers know how to deal with the risks: they design for them because they understand the likelihood and consequences.

      I'm desperately waiting on knowing the cost, the number of reactors, how many megawatts will be produced, the proposed time frame, and how we will survive until the reactors are built. While your at it, why are taxpayers going to fund all this? And lastly, best guesstimates indicates that nuclear will then only provide 5% of Australia energy needs. Where does the rest come from? I'm looking forward to your in-depth analysis on the answers.

      Economics do not keep the lights on. Engineering and physics do. Listen to your engineers.
      A mixed grid is essential. A renewables only approach is both dangerous and stupid.
      Nuclear is and always has been the answer to zero emissions baseload.
      The economics for renewables simply don’t work out. That is why consumer electricity prices increase logarithmically as the percentage of intermittent renewables on the grid increases.
