    In this video Paul Andersen explains how nuclear energy is released during fission of radioactive uranium. Light water reactors, nuclear waste, and nuclear accidents are also discussed along with the future of nuclear energy.

    "Each of the radioactive materials have a different half life but it's gonna be on the order of thousands of years."
    Apparently Steam has decided that Half-Life 3 is gonna be on order for thousands of years, too!

    Our Civilisation’s rejection of Nuclear power was a massive mistake, and the environment has payed dearly for it as we continue to rely on fossil fuels for our electricity

    If the Roman Empire had used nuclear energy, how to handle their waste would still be an important political issue today.

    • @subvet657
      @subvet657 5 років тому +2

      if the government would provide a repository for the waste, which they promised and of which they have required nuclear power plants to pay for up front, it wouldn't be an issue at all.

    You're one of the brightest people on youtube. It's weird you have so many subs but so little avg. views. You deserve way more.
    How long do you usually take to prep each episode? It looks like you put a lot of thought and time into each one.

    Nice video, but what about fusion reactors!?

    • @atlas2296
      @atlas2296 3 роки тому

      Fusion reactors dont produce usable energy yet, it costs more energy to achieve fusion than it produces

  • @janeaustinlynnrebancos6167

    I hope there will be less dangerous materials to extract energy from. Harvesting U-35 has been successful and search for alternatives is a first priority. Not to optimize the current process but find an alternative. Hopefully energy research din't stop at nuclear fission.

    • @atlas2296

      Nuclear energy is among the safest forms of energy production with just a little more deaths per energy unit than Solar Wind and Hydro, Nuclear Energy is super safe compared to fossil fuels

    Why this obsession with reducing co2?

    • @sophiebennett2806
      @sophiebennett2806 5 років тому +3

      Because co2 is the biggest cause of acidification and climate change. The changing in the overall climate of the planet is destroying us. It is the reason why the US is suffering crippling winters, droughts and tropical storms. It is why Europe is suffering from increased flooding, rainfall and random seasonal shifts.
      Type your question into a search engine and do some reading and research. The answer will scare you.

    I like how he said only 31 people died from Chernobyl. It was actually closer to 15,000. Russian censorship has far reaches.

      Right, load it all into rockets. What if one explodes while in the atmosphere? It will just rain radiation over the entire planet, no big deal.
