Fission, fusion and nuclear waste

[izentrop]

Nuclear power is scary but is an energy that does not send CO2 into the atmosphere, a non-negligible asset to fight against global warming.

He explains what fission and fusion are.

And he the waste management

New video on Greenpeace's lies about nuclear

An article from around the world https://www.lemonde.fr/idees/article/20 ... _3232.html

To help avoid climate chaos in the world, Europe must set an example of an economy free of fossil fuels. For this, it will be imperative to remove coal in electricity production in less than thirty years: mission impossible without nuclear energy.

if nuclear power is scary, there are accidents and disasters to testify to it. For rubbish if you have a cellar, you can always stock some futs.
For the CO2, we make it the tree that hides the forest. Even if France became exemplary in terms of discharges, it would be a drop in the ocean of emissions of pollutants into the atmosphere, but also into water, food, chemical drugs and vaccines.
on the other hand, nuclear power is not virtuous in terms of pollution: from extraction, its transformation, its reprocessing and storage, it is also a real disaster that is adorned with virtues that nuclear power does not even have.

Nuclear power does not send CO2 to the atmosphere, but the nuclear industry sends tritium.

Tritium is a radioactive gas which the nuclear industry does not know what to do, so we get rid of it in the atmosphere in the form of gas (especially when the wind blows, of course ...) or at sea in the form of liquid effluents (when the sea is strong, obviously ...).

Announcement this week: Tepco could release in the Pacific 1 million tonnes of tritium-contaminated water. https://www.francetvinfo.fr/monde/japon ... tor=AL-67-[Article]

The activity of this million tons would be 1,5 TBq (unless I am mistaken).

I add that this million tons of contaminated water is equivalent to less than 1 / 10000 from what the La Hague reprocessing plant pours into the English Channel and into the atmosphere each year. (From 10000 to 15000 TBq, the annual maximum allowed being 32000 TBq)

To the rejections of La Hague should be added the equally important ones of the English reprocessing plant of Sellafield (formerly Windscale).

The volume of contaminated water released each year in the Channel and the Irish Sea is 20 cubic kilometers.

Obviously, nobody talks about it ... It's at home.

Apart from radioactive pollution, nuclear is great because it does not produce CO2 ...

And here, I'm only talking about tritium.

The sacrosanct pro or anti-nuclear debate makes little sense ... pragmatism quickly erases this kind of ideological consideration.
The real problem lies in our relationship to energy.
In a world plagued by climate change and facing the imminent arrival of a peak oil and then gas the question is the following:can we do without the atom?
Or even more precisely:can we change our consumption patterns so much to do without this one?

As I mentioned several times elsewhere, the ecological problem is not technical but psychological.
When we see the rise of the vengeance following the increase in the price of fuel we can say that it would be politically impossible to quickly transform (in the 15 years) our society to do without oil and oil. 'atom.
It is not for nothing that the network "get out of nuclear power" proposes a massive recourse to fossil energies and other approximation on the ENRs for nuclear energy.

You stay on your positions without having consulted the videos of this subject, you must know how to relativize.

Janic, Coal is by far the deadliest of all energies; 23 000 dead per year in Europe alone and nothing nuclear https://www.funeraire-info.fr/pres-2300 ... ope-54888/
Looking for the little beast, there are only in mines that there are some cancers due to radon https://www.irsn.fr/FR/Actualites_press ... -7GSuhKiCg

Nuclear power does not send CO2 to the atmosphere, but the nuclear industry sends tritium.

And then, it is not a scoop and the quantities rejected are so diluted that the danger does not exist. Mr. Bonin talks about it in his video.

sen-no-sen, you write:

The real problem lies in our relationship to energy.

Indeed, and we should be careful not to forget, as is unfortunately always the case.
In the immediate future, the question of the maintenance of nuclear power is a debate essentially French-French and it does not arise in the same way in other countries, even those close to us, such as Poland, it will be difficult to convince to give up coal.
One could even think, assuming perfect nuclear safety, that a massive deployment (if possible?) In the most technologically advanced countries would make the price of coal, and thus its use, even greater. attractive for countries which have not yet been able to satisfy their mimetic desire to live in the West ...

PS: you never consult your MP?

Well yes, tritium releases in the wild are about 2,9 g per year for the entire French nuclear fleet, about 0,04 g per slice per year. It's really no joke that many of us have been struck by this scourge ...

Fortunately, Poland has been able to escape these irresponsible emissions ... Citizens can die peacefully, and by the thousands, emanations from coal; they are not the only ones in Europe ...


NB The nuclear industry knows what to do with tritium, since it will serve to feed ITER; it will thus fuel exciting discussions about its colossal dangers, forum especially...

NB2 In OECD countries, in 50 years, civilian nuclear power is the origin of no death (zero deaths) ... In the same period of time, in the same countries, the only coal has caused several hundreds of thousands of deaths. Really, the gods are unfair ... and the emotions very selective ...

This is also the case with glyphosate, everyone agrees ...
