With rising demand for energy, especially electricity, the world is in need of new resources. Fossil fuels produce harmful carbon emissions and green technology may never be able to provide a reliable source of renewable energy. Despite ongoing concerns about the safety of nuclear power, it’s likely going to play an increasingly large role in satisfying our needs. Several projects being developed in Russia will hopefully help make nuclear’s enlarged role as safe as possible. Fast neutron reactors look to be the future of the industry, while an advanced gas-cooled reactor design could have benefits beyond electricity generation. And Russia’s plans for a fleet of floating nuclear power stations will bring electricity, heat and fresh water to isolated populations.
Excellent documentary.
Iran is not pronounced “Eye ran”, it’s pronounced
“EEE run”.
Weak minds which does not understand complexitiy will be afraid of it.
This is the main reason why most of people are against nuclear power plant.
After several hunderts of year there will be no more oil or methane storaged at earth. To generate electricity nuclear power plants will be the only remaining option in future. If nuclear power plants were so dangerous God would not put a fusion ball(explanation for who does not understand : sun) at our head to lighten us.
nuclear energy is just made to look scarier than it is, radioactivity can be contained if there is well organised structured responses. nowadays every russian AES (atomic electricity station, in russian) there are fire drills and saftey is immaculate, nuclear is clean and is reusable, radioactivity dies down after a while anyway.
You know how many solar panels it would take to replace the Darlington nuclear power generating station in southern Ontario? Enough to create 6850 tons of toxic waste mining for the materials, that’s how many, and unlike nuclear waste it isn’t recyclable. Same with wind power too – or does the environmental orthodoxy not understand the science that goes into manufacturing epoxies and composites required for a wind turbine that barely trickles energy? Do they think maintenance doesn’t need oil?
>The reactor in Japan was Half a Century old, and hit by the 3rd most powerful quake in history.
Earthquake doesn’t matter. Reactor was 40 years old and the main factor — it was place right on sea shore, that’s why it was partly destroyed by tsunami. By the way it’s not the only japanese NPP at shore. I found at least one more — Onagawa, and this one also had accident this year. It was the leak of radioactive water in April. It’s stupidity or sabotage to place dangerous objects at shore.
@MrSokitumi0007 And I bet 40 x2 (o) could turn the altinator in my car with those oh so smooth and almost resistance free berrings would go around awfull fast -.o =P FU BIG OIL GLOBAL FALSE FLAG OIL NAZI CARTEL OF THE NWO )o,,,
@explosives101 Oh the force of a nano magnet that propels at 1/4 inch cube push/pull at 7.3 lbs hmm thats alot of free energy. And wow its even an invisible force ewww kinda like magic and scientists dont like what they cant explain )o,,,
Nuclear, Means they get less cash, So they try to dirty wash anything nuclear. remember nuclear, is from 2 words, New and clear, Work it out. A lemon is harmless, But give it to a motorcyclist and tell him to throw it in your eye at 200mph+, Could sting a little. Just saying.
Russia learned from Chernobyl. Russia did a better job at Chernobyl containment (yet it still leaks & the area is deadly) than whats going on in Japan. That said, why risk lives when there are so many other emerging technologies that work? I Imagine the Japanese will soon put their reactors in shut down mode and adopt technology like Rossis E-Cat etc soon.
I trust many nations with nuclear plants, Germany has been eliminating its own plants but i think they can handle it,
Nu -(CLear.$hampoo, removes all head & shoulders.
@jadams2212 thorium looks fairly promising as an alternative to uranium
Radiation is just one of a long list of life-threatening forms of toxic pollution. We have developed and become accustomed to a way of life that pollutes the air, water, land, and beyond Earth’s atmosphere which is destroying the environment and jeopardizing the existence of all life on Earth. If we don’t stop fucking up our planet, at some point all of this toxic waste will reach critical mass which will likely kill all life. Earth will repair itself, new life will evolve, and mankind who?
We’ve all heard about Peak OIl. What about peak uranium? Is the turn to nuclear realistic, or is a contraction of energy going to be imposed on us?
@explosives101
Fukushima Daiichi is a prime example of why nuclear should not be privatized, nuclear can be perfectly safe, but corporate greed gets in the way of that, that old GE design is garbage compared to modern designs.
Here in Canada we have some even older nuclear reactors, but they’re of a superior design and publicly operated… and now that the mindless masses have elected in a right wing government… the world’s safest nuclear power is slowly being privatized.
….neyt, no fucking way comrades, halt right their; not on the surface of my Earth
~if you want to fuck with falling star criticality then you may only make them under the Water Table’s lowest level in appropriate lithosphere zones, that is where the waste must remain,
=all such liabilities must be performance assure with gold deposited in trust to value of maximum possible damage
=look under pyramids 13,000 year’s back to see my ancestor’s mistake on the surface last major interstellar Storm
Sorry Rt, this kinda propaganda just not cool. not cool.
@Jimmybusinessface In addition, the Fukishima plant was set up with electric powered pumps rather than a gravity fed system to prevent a meltdown like they use in American plants. When the electricity went off they could pump and water in to cool down the core.
@explosives101 And what do we do with all those spent “reusable” fuel rods that sit at 1200 C submerged in Boric acid so they dont start a nuclear chain reaction. They have a half life of over 1000 years before they can even be looked at to decide what to do with them. You can judge how dangerous something is by the amount of manpower and technology used to keep it safe.
@Ash243x the thing with the disk that spins is teslatech…reverse the polarity and you have a generator (its original function!) now you know why they want to install those new digital meters ^^
@explosives101 !00% reusable? Why does Germany as well as many other countries have a problem about where they will put all thier nuclear waste??
@explosives101 Don’t forget to keep the lights out too, they produce photonic radiation. ;D
@explosives101 I guess “Nuclear waste” is just a made up phrase.
@WeLikeDanceMusic lolwut?
