Future green energy options for the first world…
Aside from the high stability, eco-friendliness, low land consumption and low generation costs of nuclear
power plants, there are a number of reasons why I stand for nuclear
technology. Here are some of them.
Multitasking - This is one of the biggest reasons. A nuclear
power plant is not just a generator. They operate in many
parts of the world for a number of multitasking purposes. For
example, only the residual heat generated in these power
plants (without electricity) can be used to purify large
quantities of seawater and produce drinking water. The Kudankulam power plant in India,
which is close to us, treats 400,000 liters of water per hour in this manner. Another
application is the recycling of wastewater. For example, the Palo Wardi nuclear power
plant in Arizona supplies all the water it needs by recycling the wastewater supply of those
cities. Even so, their unit price is only 2 dollars (4
rupees).
Another such application is medical science. Some of
these nuclear power plants can also produce
radioactive drugs that can be used to generate energy
as well as to treat cancer. The Leningrad nuclear power
plant in Russia is an example of this.
Another is material improvement. Nuclear power
plants are one of the most successful methods of making things like semiconductors. The
world's highest quality semiconductors are doped in nuclear reactors. The micro-settings
on your phones and computers are not just advanced to the chip level.
Advances in other fields - Nuclear technology is not an
isolated technological method. Therefore, the
International Atomic Energy Agency has identified 19
areas that a country needs to develop in advance when it
comes to nuclear technology. Infrastructure,
transportation, medicine, industry, human resources,
from education to radioactive waste management to
electronic measurement are all being developed in
parallel. This is an unimaginably important step forward.
Safety - Although two of the 450 reactors in the world were involved in two incidents, the
Chernobyl and Fukushima rivers were opposed to nuclear technology. The attached figure
shows the number of casualties from each source in the production of a unit of
electricity. Nuclear power plants are at the bottom of the list, with both direct and indirect
damage.
