World Nuclear University Launched

Posted by simoniker on from the stop-worrying-and-love-the-institution dept.

nuke-alwin writes "The first meeting of the 'academic council' of the newly-launched World Nuclear University (WNU) was held in the UK last week. The mission of the WNU is to strengthen the international community of people and institutions to guide and further develop nuclear power and many other nuclear applications (in agriculture, medicine, environmental protection). As workers in the nuclear industry are aging, organisations have started Young Generation Networks such as the YGN of the British Nuclear Energy Society. The WNU is a further recognition that the nuclear industry needs to educate a new generation of workers, so that nuclear power can continue to provide electricity without the production of greenhouse gases."

    Here's what you need to do.

    1) Go to school, get multiple engineering degrees or whatever you need.

    2) Find a way to make solar, wind and/or tidal power ACTUALLY WORK. And I mean in real life, not in some pseudo-science hippie diatribe. And don't point to useless windmill farms in nevada/california, they don't produce shit. You need about 100 acres of windmills to power one average home. And they don't call them "condor cuisinarts" for nothing.

    3) The world will be 100% behind you. Until then, nuclear is the best option we have.

    ... put a nuclear reactor on a ship, and (with electrolosys) then sell hydrogen to the rest of the world. Not only could I get rich, but also get away from those sue-happy whacos who can't comprehend that nuclear power is far safer than any other power source ever discovered by human kind.
