Nuclear isn't a viable long term power source. The avg reactor age in the U.S. Is 34 years old with the cut off life of 40 years and then they have to apply for a time extension. They are getting old and there hasn't been a new nuclear reactor lic issued since 1996. None will be anytime soon especially after the disaster in Japan at fuku shimu.
I think nuclear would be the power of the future if the environmental wackos would get out of the way. Jap plant was in a bad location. With the technology we have today if situated in the right location i believe the risk could be very low. |
