The @UNECE has published a report on Life Cycle Assessment of Electricity Generation Options.
It says Nuclear has the:
👉 Lowest lifecycle carbon of all technologies
👉 Lowest land use of all low-carbon technologies
👉 Lowest mining/metal use of all low-carbon tech

The entire city of Haiyang in China is now heated by its nearby #nuclearenergy plant, making it the country's first city to transition away from fossil-fired district heating.
The Haiyang plant has two Westinghouse AP1000s that started up in 2018 and 2019.

By providing heat as well as power to Haiyang's 2 million people the nuclear plant has replaced 1️⃣2️⃣ coal boilers, saving:
🔥 10 million tons of coal each heating season
🌏 18 million tons of CO2
😷 691 tons of soot
😷 1123 tons of nitrogen oxide
😷 1188 tons of sulphur dioxide

Beaucoup de points à nuancer dans ce tweet d’@ecolo @RajaeMaouane. Petit thread. 🧵 #FactsMatter #NoFakeScience 1/16
« Les centrales sont à bout de souffle. » ➡️ Faux. Il n’y a aucune raison technique de fermer les centrales nucléaires belges. Une sortie du #nucléaire est un choix politique, et non technique. 2/16
Les centrales nucléaires belges sont exploitées en toute sûreté selon le @FANC_AFCN, l’agence fédérale indépendante pour le contrôle nucléaire. Sinon, elles seraient mises à l’arrêt. 3/16
