How many people are really afraid of nuclear power given that more people die every year…?

from lung disease shown to be caused by coal burning plants upwind of where they live? And the number of people actually killed by radiation since 1947 is less than the number of coal miners killed in any single decade? Have you really done ony NON-biased research into it’s pros and cons?

To answer brainiac’s question – The average electricity production cost in the US in 2004 for nuclear energy was 1.68 cents per kilowatt-hour, for coal-fired plants 1.90 cents, for oil 5.39 cents, and for gas 5.87 cents (US dollars).

And here’s some more facts:

– a coal fired power plant produces more radiation than a nuclear power plant, for the same size of plant. That’s becuase most coal contains a lot of uranium (50-100 ppm) and that all goes up the chmney in an uncontrolled mess. And don’t let the coal industry fool you with their propoganda about “clean coal” there is no escaping that coal produces huge amounts of CO2 during the combustion process.

- Nuclear energy is by far the world’s largest source of emission-free energy. Nuclear power plants produce no air pollutants or greenhouse gases.

- The energy in one uranium fuel pellet—the size of the tip of your little finger—is the equivalent of 17,000 cubic feet of natural gas, 1,780 pounds of coal, or 149 gallons of oil.

- Nuclear energy produces about 0.00001% of the waste as an equivalent sized coal fired plant, with less total radiation. 100% of the waste from a nuclear power plant is controlled and contained.

- A passenger on a jet plane flying from LA to New York in 5 hours will be exposed to more radiation than a worker in a uranium mine or nuclear power plant in one month.

So why are people afraid of nuclear energy – the media has done a terrible job of reporting the facts, and the majority of people don’t know the real facts.

Nuclear energy is the only rational solution to our energy demand that will not contribute to global warming.

EDIT – a comment for galactonerd and anybody else worried about radioactive waste.

In one year, a 1,000 MW nuclear plant produces about 27 tonnes of spent fuel. 24 of those tonnes are recycled into new fuel, and that leaves 3 tonnes of true radioactive waste. With the high SG of nuclear waste, those 3 tonnes comprise a block barely 40 cm (16″) per side – about the size of an average suitcase. That seems quite manageable to me.

In the same amount of time, a 1,000 MW coal fired plant produces 7 million tonnes of carbon dioxide, 100,000 tonnes of sulphur dioxide, 75,000 tonnes of nitrous oxide, 5,000 tonnes of radioactive fly ash, and 150,000 to 200,000 tonnes of radioactive solid waste. Now here’s the real kicker – coal naturally contains uranium, and the waste from a coal fired plant produces more total radioactivity than the 40x40x40 cm block from the nuclear plant. Not only that, the radioactive coal waste is spread all over the earth.

So the question on radioactive waste should really apply to the coal fired plant and not the nuclear plant.
