Risks & Benefits of Nuclear Power

  • Coal-fired electric plants (one 1000 MW plant)
  • Nuclear plants (one 1000 MW plant)
  • releases 4.5 million tons of CO2
  • produces 70 ft3 of HLW/year
  • produces 3.5 million ft3 of waste ash/year
  • no CO2 released
  • releases 300 tons of SO2 and ~100 tons NOx/day
  • no acidic oxides of sulfur and nitrogen released
  • releases Uranium and Thorium from coal

Future of Nuclear Power

  • A new growth phase of nuclear power in near future
    • 2005 Energy Bill: tax incentives for electricity produced by new nuclear plants
    • New reactor designs
    • Expansion in other countries
    • New fuel technology – mixed oxide (MOX)
      • Pu from nuclear warheads and SNF can be made into MOX
  • Still a debate if risks of nuclear power outweigh those of global warming, acid rain, and nuclear terrorism.
    • Both our need for energy and the mass of radioactive waste are issues to balance.
