To remove any mystique about nuclear power, it is an unnatural, highly dangerous and highly expensive way of boiling vast amounts of water.
To remove any mystique about nuclear power, it is an unnatural, highly dangerous and highly expensive way of boiling vast amounts of water. It utilises the ultimate non-renewable (grade-A uranium), of which the world had very limited reserves of around 20 years at best estimates. With China and India, in particular, and other countries intending to commission up to 100 new nuclear power stations in the near future, these reserves will shrink at an increasing rate and we will then be in an era of extracting uranium from low-grade ore at increasing cost and then move on to other, even more technically challenging and expensive, ways of preparing other materials for the nuclear process.
