Electricity is so tight, why not vigorously develop nuclear power?

Since entering October, the whole country has entered a power shortage, and now the entire European region, including the world also belongs to the period of power shortage, whether it is Europe's gas-grabbing war or the UK's power shortage problem, many people have a lot of questions about the power supply, that the power supply now has some problems, and because of the environmental pollution caused by coal, many countries are no longer using Thermal power generation and go to take clean energy power generation, but this power generation can not meet the current industrial needs therefore appeared.

The shortage of electricity is a problem for many people to think about, why not go to the development of nuclear power generation, not only can solve the problem of electricity tensions, but also will not produce damage to the environment, which is also a way to solve the problem. Advantages and disadvantages of nuclear power below to briefly analyze why not vigorously develop nuclear power?

First of all, they went online to do a data comparison, if the power plant in accordance with the same power generation capacity, the need for a year of coal combustion is 3 million tons, then a nuclear power plant requires only 30 tons of nuclear fuel, you can complete the same power generation, compared to the thermal nuclear power plant has unparalleled advantages.

The thermal power plant generates electricity by burning coal, which not only releases toxic gases such as carbon dioxide, but also produces dust. Not only will it cause serious damage to the environment, the main thing is that coal is a non-renewable resource, which is very unfavorable for future development After more than a hundred years of development, the global greenhouse effect is now becoming more and more serious, which is the main reason why many countries are forced to close down their coal-fired power plants, and to use cleaner energy to generate electricity.

Although nuclear power plants are more resource-efficient than thermal power plants and have many advantages, but some objective factors in real life constrain the development of nuclear power plants, mainly the following 3 points.

First of all, the construction of nuclear power plants must use a lot of water for cooling. Nuclear power plant in the work must be cooled with water, if the nuclear power plant is built in the farther away from the water source, then the operation cost of the nuclear power plant will be very high, and ultimately lead to not enough to make ends meet, facing the project bankruptcy, so many countries in the construction of nuclear power plants, often in the coastal areas along the lake to build, and even France in order to build nuclear power plants specifically to build a dam to ensure that the nuclear power plant The water supply problem of the nuclear power plant.

Secondly, the safety of nuclear power plants is difficult to accept. In our human history, there have been a number of nuclear leakage accidents, not only to the surrounding environment has brought serious damage, but also with a strong nuclear radiation, the average ordinary residents do not understand the operation of the nuclear power plant, and do not know that the operation of the nuclear power plant is safe, when they heard that their own residential area to build nuclear power plants, many people are opposed to it, so the radiation safety of the nuclear power plant The issue of radiation safety of nuclear power plants is generally difficult for ordinary people to accept, which is also one of the biggest problems in the construction of nuclear power plants.

Lastly, there is the issue of nuclear waste disposal. When the nuclear fuel is used up, it is often chosen to deal with the sealing and preservation. Because now each country for nuclear waste disposal standards and practices are different, once the nuclear waste accidentally leaked will also cause a serious ecological crisis, which is also many countries want to develop nuclear power plants but do not dare to develop the constraints.

But in the "14th Five-Year Plan", the state has clearly pointed out that it will orderly and steadily promote the construction of coastal nuclear power plant project, at this point the state has fully recognized the importance of nuclear power, so in the near future, nuclear power will be as a national strategic projects The first step is to move forward.
