People like lonympics and nanfree really annoy me. Its individuals like these that are preventing us from moving into a future which demands intelligence and acceptance of nuclear energy. Yes, Nuclear plants produce CO2 in construction, mining, and enrichment of Uranium but even then it still produces less carbon per kw energy than ALL other forms of power generation. Its good science combined with logic, something opponents of Nuclear have never had!!

[braino2000]

Yeah, that's because dumbass liberals think they can run the country one wind and solar. While were at it, why don't we run our vehicles on hydrogen too LOL

[darthvader5300]

The problem with Chernobly reactors is the core design and fuel rod design. The fuel rods must have a hafnium alloy caps on both ends and hafnium alloy linnings within the graphite holes when the fuel rods are being removed for refuelling. Stainless high boron steel will do since hafnium is expensive though much more desirable from an engineering point of view since all nuclear engineers considers hafnium as a problematical nuclear quencher that can shutdown a reactor almost instantly.

@122boxer i dont think im better than you, or anyone else for that matter. im just saying, you seem like your the kind of person who jumps to conclusions without really knowing the facts.

maybe do some research before jumping to conclusions like that? and dont just use greenpeace. use varied sources and get the real picture

[122boxer]

@bibbyandal I hate people like you who think they are better than everyone else, smarter than everyone else, go do somthing with your life instead of writing pointless comments like that.

[bibbyandal]

@122boxer you are clearly severly under educated on the facts of nuclear power generation.

you also seem greatly misinformed about the causes of the explosion at chernobyl in 1989.

[122boxer]

1989 Chernobyl remember that, the explosion, nuclear power, it caused many deformitys to children and it still is.

Yet another nuclear industry shill selling poison? Another bad accountant? The energy to clean and deliver water to thirsty nuclear plants, the waste heat pumped into the environment, the water evaporated at reactors located in deserts that are experiencing drought and draining their aquifers, etc., etc., etc. You seem to have forgotton a number of real costs and their associated emissions.

[suemorphplus2009]

Nowhere near as much as coal, plus you burn it. You are correct to say that it is not completely free of emissions, but the life cycle still makes it small when the energy of the fission in the reactor does not produce the emissions.

[QuarereAude]

Only a fool, or a nuclear industry shill would claim, "Nuclear energy is clean. It produces no greenhouse gases." The emmission of greenhouse gases during the life-cycle of nuclear energy production is enormous, and will continue to grow as the quality of remaining uranium deposits degrades: just as the EROEI will diminish.

<< This is not even Fusion you idiot!
