The Technology Set To Cause A Nuclear Revolution
Nuclear power is about to become a whole lot safer
Nuclear power is remarkable. Not only is it carbon-neutral it also has the lowest mortality rate per TWh of any other form of energy. It’s even lower than wind and solar and yes that does take nuclear disasters into account. It is also immensely powerful, compact and environmentally harmonious, unlike any other form of carbon-neutral energy. But, there is one thing holding nuclear power back, nuclear waste. Governments and communities around the world are terrified of the stuff. Soon this won’t be a problem as Deep Isolation’s new technology has found a way to solve the nuclear waste dilemma for good. What is this technology? And could this rejuvenate the nuclear industry?
Let’s get something out of the way before we carry on. Nuclear disasters and nuclear waste do pose a threat to human life. But it is far less than the threat posed by fossil fuel power, for example, a coal power plant produces 100 times more nuclear waste than a single nuclear power plant because coal has radioactive elements within it.
