It compared the cost of building the nuclear reactors in France to the cost of building Solar, Wind and biomass in Germany. It also looked at the cost and amount of energy produced from the last five years of…
the Decommissioning of the Zion reactors. https://www.nrc.gov/docs/ML1909/ML19092A270.pdf About $650 million budget. In 2016, They say it is on schedule and under budget.…
96% of the mass of nuclear "waste" is uranium 238. This can be fissioned when neutron are 1000 times faster. This occurs in fast reactors. Uranium 238 is unused fuel. Coal, oil, natural gas waste sit in the air you…
Germany spending will be three times higher on solar, wind and biomass will be more than three times higher than a nuclear build-out. Germany needs 1.5 times the power of France's nuclear. Estimates are that Germany…
France completed construction on 76% of its current 58 reactors at an inflation-adjusted cost of $330 billion (€290 billion). The complete buildout of the 58 reactors was less €400 billion. Germany has spent about €500…
Tesla Powerwall: $14.5K for 27 kwh and $2.5-4.5k installation. $6.8K for each 13.5 kwh of Powerwall. Batteries by themselves not enough. Need inverters etc... You cannot get to the cost of the car by only adding up the…
China, South Korea are $2K-2.5K per kilowatt of baseload. A Nuclear kilowatt generates 70-95% of the time. A solar kilowatt generates 10-20% of the time. A Gigawatt of solar generates 1 Terawatt hour per year. A…
if 20 milliseverts per year is the correct level for evacuation then why do we not evacuate Kerela in India, Ramsdar in Iran. Kerela has radiation levels 3 times higher than 20 milliseverts per year. Denver has higher…
The radiation levels around Fukushima would not have caused prompt death. Cancer takes many years to develop. Elderly people do not have enough lifespan left to develop radiation related cancer to die from radiation. On…
I wrote the second article (nextbigfuture) referenced in the nuclear safety citations. It is irrelevant that the recent nuclear reactor projects in the USA and Europe are expensive. A weighted average of cost and…
