Nuclear Energy

Background

  • There are currently 31 countries that use nuclear energy
  • In history, there have been only three nuclear disasters -- Chernobyl, Three Mile Island, and Fukushima
  • Nuclear power is not only used in weapons and energy, but in chemistry and medicine as well
  • Fun Fact! OSU's Nuclear reactor is only used for Chemistry and Medicine - Dr. Skip

Advantages

  • No carbon emissions during use
  • Higher energy density
  • Fairly low cost when compared to fossil fuels
  • Sustainable
  • Other elements can be used, like Thorium - https://youtu.be/bcjYwxrUERg?t=35
  • Reliable
  • Is helpful in transitioning to different forms of energy
  • Companies are changing designs to make more efficient, safe, and small (NuScale)

Disadvantages

  • Radioactive waste is produced and there are not standardized ways to dispose of waste
  • Accidents can happen and have happened
  • Mining for needed materials can cause air pollution
  • Construction is timely and needs a lot of space and money

Disadvantages

United States

  • Currently 100 total reactors, which equates to 19% of the electricity generated
  • Production started in 1958, and halted when the 3 mile Island disaster happened
  • Ranked #1 for the amount of reactors, but #16 for the total % of electricity generated
  • New developments in wind and solar, along with the price have pushed nuclear farther out of the picture

France

  • Has the highest usage of nuclear energy in the world with 74.8% total electricity produced
  • Nuclear energy emerged in France in 1974, but nuclear reactors haven't been built in 20 years
  • President Macron has plans to close 14 reactors by 2035 and reduce nuclear energy generation to 50%
  • ITER is constructing the world's largest and most advanced Tokamak nuclear fusion reactor is located in Provence, France
  • Disposal : La Hague Nuclear Recyling and Reprocessing

Japan

  • 2.1% of total electricity is produced by nuclear, some years it is near 0%
  • Fukushima Daiichi
  • Had 30% of electricity come from nuclear
  • Prime Minister Shinzo Abe is a strong advocate for nuclear energy
  • Japan is currently poor in generating energy, but has potential for being rich in renewable energy
  • Disposal : Reprocessing and deep geological repository

Finland

  • 32.6% of total energy comes from nuclear
  • There are 4 current reactors and a fifth is in the process of being built.
  • Main Finnish energy policy is to lower greenhouse gas emissions
  • Goal is to be 100% carbon neutral in the mid century

Thank you!
