(Quoteth The Big Issue No. 701.)

Nuclear power is not a solution to climate change.

It is not even carbon free - carbon dioxide is emitted when building the power station, managing the waste, and producing and distributing the fuel.
It is extremely dangerous - an attack on a nuclear reactor could cause 44000 immediate deaths.
It will distract us from setting up effective renewable energy systems, such as solar and wind power.

Would you rather a nuclear power station or a wind turbine at the end of your garden?

lol, i see someone gave you full lecture on it all... lol, bit long really. You may have envoked a big argument here darling ;) lol
love xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Fight the power! XDD I agree, and although there are lots of pros for nuclear, I think it doesn't have all the answers people claim it does. Are you going to put this on GD's? (if you already have then whoops! I only just got back, hehe ^^; )

Mhmm, I will put it on GDs soon :nod:
Yay, you're back!! How was it?? Monie said you were fed lots...

I cannot breathe for the fat clogs my lungs and arteries ^_^ So yesh, we were fed copiously. I will see you on mondaaaaay! *hug*

Oh, our physics hat from payton is next thursday now, instead of after half term :(

I don't totally agree...

I agree that Nuclear FISSION (The proces they currently use in Nulcear power station, con sisting of spliting U-235 Atoms to produce energy) does indeed cause depleeted nuclear waste mainly (Pl-238, U-233 and U-232)....

Howerver:

They are currently develepoping Nuclear FUSION, which is the complete oppsosite of the FISSION process. (Nuclear FUSION uses the same process that mother nature display to us every day life, the sun. They procees involves Fusing two "Heavy" Hydrodgen (Deuterium) atoms to form one Helium atom: 2/1H + 2/1H = 4/2He + 1/0n OR 3/1H + 2/1H = 4/2He + 1/0n When using Tritium which is Hydrogen possesing 1 proton and 3 neutron)

Ontop of that, nuclear fusion is almost self sustaining (Technically it isn't because of the energy conservation theory, howerver it can go on for a VERY long time).

It's also clean! It does not require the CO2 imetting Uranium enrichment process and the result of the Fusion process is clean Helium and one Neutron.

Finaly the enrgy output of one fusion reaction of one fusion action is = 17.6MeV Which is much more that Nuclear Fission... and anything else ever made by man for this matter! lol ^^;

Nuclear Fusion has been regarded as the "Holy Grale" of energy production and even thoug it hasn't been fully developed yet, there is an international project called EFDA (European Fusion Development Agreement) and trust me... their VERY CLOSE to getting it right!

I should know... my parent's house in France is less than 60 miles from the testing site which is located in Bordeaux... ^^;

So there you have it... With time Nuclear technology may be the answer after all... :)

P.S. The process of Fusion is done using Plasma... This mean the the process would be visualy spectacular and pritty to watch.

*cough* Well... I think that it's good anyay.... ¬¬;

Hmm, well I don't know much about this nuclear fusion process... I'd like to find out more. Thanks for telling me about it.

Your welcome.


I attended a Lecture about Nuclear Fusion yesterday at University College London by Dr Warrick. If you wish to find out more, I'll send you some photocopies of the notes I did! Trust me! It Fasinating an AMAZING!
