Waste is among the unsolved problems of nuclear energy. The problem of storing radioactive wastes after electricity generation in nuclear power plants is waiting to be solved worldwide. Increasing day by day nuclear waste problem A study of
Study shows nine times more waste
As with fossil fuels, nuclear waste does not spread into the atmosphere. However, these wastes need to be stored for a long time. Despite this, many argue that nuclear is the solution to a low-emission power generation future.
440 nuclear reactors currently supply about 10 percent of global energy demand. However, the majority of them are quite old and in need of replacement as they fail. Work is waste nine times more and that the toxicity is minimal has doubled is showing.
Important discovery from Chinese scientists!
Chinese scientists have discovered a gene that will increase grain yield. The OsDREB1C gene was found to increase productivity.
PLOSAn article published in . nuclear industry, 300 Megawatts (MV)that produce less than electricity and can be installed in factories small modular reactors is developing. According to the article, this is not a possibility, but a myth. lead author Lindsay Krallmade a statement on the subject.
Our results show that most modular reactor designs will increase the volume of nuclear waste that needs management and disposal by a factor of 2 to 30 for the reactors in our case study. These findings contrast sharply with the cost and waste reduction benefits claimed by proponents for advanced nuclear technologies.
In general, the study is based on small modular designs, radioactive waste generation and lower in management requirements than conventional reactors. The main problem is the long-term radiation from spent nuclear fuel. research team, 10 thousand years laterthat the radiotoxicity of spent plutonium is at least less than that of plutonium in conventional spent fuel. 50 percent more claims to be.
However, very few countries have found a way to store waste that is acceptable to the environment and population. Most of the waste is stored in the fields. Iceland, next for 100 thousand years It is one of the countries that determine the field, process and economy. But they also raise the question: Will it survive 100,000 years?
