The much cleaner, better, safer power plant to be built by 2026? " I believe that the next-generation nuclear power plant that TerraPower is building here will power the future of our nation—and the world. Everything we do runs on electricity: buildings, technology, and increasingly transportation. To meet our economic and climate goals, we need more abundant clean energy, not less. The ground we broke in Kemmerer will soon be the bedrock of America’s energy future. Today, we took the biggest step yet toward safe, abundant, zero-carbon energy. " Bill G.

Nuclear waste! 😮😎 50+ years without a single incident harming people or the environment shows that we know how to securely store and transport nuclear energy's used fuel. 💪🥇 FAQs: https://lnkd.in/eZmJjWYf #nuclearwaste #nuclearenergy #actonclimate #cleanenergy

Things to understand about nuclear waste: 1) Required storage time (where 10,000 or 100,000 year figures come from) is generally calculated based on the amount of time required for the material to be as radioactive or less radioactive as natural uranium ore. 2) Transuranic elements are primarily responsible for the long storage time, separation and burning (via fast reactor or similar method) would reduce “necessary” storage time (as calculated in (1)) by orders of magnitude, ~100s of years. 3) The nuclear industry is the only industry to take responsibility for its waste throughout the duration of its life. What other industry is required to earmark billions for waste management whenever they wish to open a power generation facility? 4) The waste really isn’t waste, the majority of used nuclear fuel can be repurposed, unburnt uranium can be reused as fuel, transuranics and fission products can be used in a number of applications in medical, industrial, and energy fields. 5) It’s all about the money, historically it has been cheaper to store used nuclear fuel and purchase new nuclear fuel that to recycle or process the used nuclear fuel.
