Why nuclear power will never supply the world's energy needs
May 11, 2011 by Lisa Zyga

As Abbott notes in his study, global power consumption today is about 15 terawatts (TW). Currently, the global nuclear power supply capacity is only 375 gigawatts (GW). In order to examine the large-scale limits of nuclear power, Abbott estimates that to supply 15 TW with nuclear only, we would need about 15,000 nuclear reactors. In his analysis, Abbott explores the consequences of building, operating, and decommissioning 15,000 reactors on the Earth, looking at factors such as the amount of land required, radioactive waste, accident rate, risk of proliferation into weapons, uranium abundance and extraction, and the exotic metals used to build the reactors themselves.
âoeA nuclear power station is resource-hungry and, apart from the fuel, uses many rare metals in its construction,â Abbott told PhysOrg.com. âoeThe dream of a utopia where the world is powered off fission or fusion reactors is simply unattainable. Even a supply of as little as 1 TW stretches resources considerably.â
His findings, some of which are based on the results of previous studies, are summarized below.
Land and location: One nuclear reactor plant requires about 20.5 km2 (7.9 mi2) of land to accommodate the nuclear power station itself, its exclusion zone, its enrichment plant, ore processing, and supporting infrastructure. Secondly, nuclear reactors need to be located near a massive body of coolant water, but away from dense population zones and natural disaster zones. Simply finding 15,000 locations on Earth that fulfill these requirements is extremely challenging.
Lifetime: Every nuclear power station needs to be decommissioned after 40-60 years of operation due to neutron embrittlement - cracks that develop on the metal surfaces due to radiation. If nuclear stations need to be replaced every 50 years on average, then with 15,000 nuclear power stations, one station would need to be built and another decommissioned somewhere in the world every day. Currently, it takes 6-12 years to build a nuclear station, and up to 20 years to decommission one, making this rate of replacement unrealistic.
Nuclear waste: Although nuclear technology has been around for 60 years, there is still no universally agreed mode of disposal. Itâ(TM)s uncertain whether burying the spent fuel and the spent reactor vessels (which are also highly radioactive) may cause radioactive leakage into groundwater or the environment via geological movement.
Accident rate: To date, there have been 11 nuclear accidents at the level of a full or partial core-melt. These accidents are not the minor accidents that can be avoided with improved safety technology; they are rare events that are not even possible to model in a system as complex as a nuclear station, and arise from unforeseen pathways and unpredictable circumstances (such as the Fukushima accident). Considering that these 11 accidents occurred during a cumulated total of 14,000 reactor-years of nuclear operations, scaling up to 15,000 reactors would mean we would have a major accident somewhere in the world every month.
Proliferation: The more nuclear power stations, the greater the likelihood that materials and expertise for making nuclear weapons may proliferate. Although reactors have proliferation resistance measures, maintaining accountability for 15,000 reactor sites worldwide would be nearly impossible.
Uranium abundance: At the current rate of uranium consumption with conventional reactors, the world supply of viable uranium, which is the most common nuclear fuel, will last for 80 years. Scaling consumption up to 15 TW, the viable uranium supply will last for less than 5 years. (Viable uranium is the uranium that exists in a high enough ore concentration so that extracting the ore is economically justified.)

How does Microsoft know which site hosts Malware. I think when you click on a link your browser. Your browser checks with the browser provider or AV software company (mozilla | microsoft | opera | symantec | mcaffee) through a locally installed proxy to see if it is on a blacklist then it allows or warns you. (Microsoft | AV Companies) Know what other users have installed and had problems with. Social engineering gets easier when users have no idea how their devices work and complexity has been piled on complexity over the years. My guess is that many (Apple | Microsoft | Nokia | Google) employees would be just as puzzled as you or I if asked what a bit of software does. Add millions of lines of code, encryption for DRM and only a handful can understand it.
Again security versus ease of use. Either learn to program and insist on only installing from source code over SSL w/signed compiler OR allow someone else to "mind the store" track where you go and what you download. (Ever tried to build a compiler from source code without another compiler? Asked for an SSL Cert be sent to you via snail mail. Probed and vetted all the device firmware in your machine?) See: KLOC, DEP, Signed Binaries, TCP, UDP, DNS, TLS, HASH, MD5, SHA, ASM,.NET, C#, C, C++, Python, PERL, Java, Flex, CUDA, DirectX, Differential Calculus, Ciphers.

There are quite a few operating systems under 2 megabytes in size, ARM and x-86 It is surprising to me that all malware doesn't infiltrate firmware. BIOS, NIC, Sound Card, Video Card. all have capacity to store a few extra kbytes.http://yro.slashdot.org/story/11/05/04/0111229/Aaron-Computer-Rental-Firm-Spies-On-Users#
Windows 7 is much better at isolating ring 0 - too bad there dozens of services running by default. Remote Desktop?! Remote Registry?!! Home users won't use. Add a dozen helpful? shovel-ware services added by your OEM and even someone that cares will spend hours figuring out what they need.
At least with apple you don't have nag-ware.
Linux doesn't have all the security redundancy of Windows 7 but it doesn't have the downside thousands people paid and private writing malware against it either.
It's always a matter of faith with any OS or firmware. When was the last time you built your own compiler?/tinfoil
Do people you meet ask you to repeat things? I would guess so because talking out of both side of your mouth. One side is saying libertarian freedom and personal responsibility while the other says it is all someone elses fault. - make up your mind .
It's kind of like hearing sarah palin recite history.

Funny. It escaped me that some flaws are beneficial. This was leveraged to save lives. - Technology is surprises.

Do you think paid legislators wouldn't enact a law to unlock the value of patents from escaping wealthy interests?
Thanks for the correction.

Antitrust legislation to encourage competition is the answer.
Firefox and NoScript to the rescue. Again...
If your server was one of the 380,000 hacked. I hope you will be back online soon.
They may not want people to risk their lives using their service.
If the certs are already compromised. MITM proxies, prior break-ins etc.
Google ISP?
Psst. psst, milli "seiverts" - (Yeah ,i had to look it up too,)
Electronic transfer is safer. faster. more traceable welcome to the brave new world.
Windows is licensed to one user and one machine. - They are reclaiming their license. /troll
