Nukes of Hazard #nuclear

There's something wrong with every source of energy. How do our nuclear nightmares compare?

Why nuclear power will never supply the world's energy needs

Analysis has concluded that nuclear power cannot be globally scaled to supply the world’s energy needs for numerous reasons.
phys.org/news/2011-05-n…
The results suggest that we’re likely better off investing in other energy solutions that are truly scalable
to supply 15 TW with nuclear only, we would need about 15,000 nuclear reactors. In his analysis, Abbott explores the consequences of building, operating, and decommissioning 15,000 reactors on the Earth,

Cost of #Nuclear 😳👇
In 2016, Japan's Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry estimated the total cost of dealing with the Fukushima disaster at ¥21.5 trillion (US$187 billion), almost twice the previous estimate of ¥11 trillion (US$96 billion)

#CostOfNuclear 😳
Initial emergency response, together with later decontamination of environment, involved more than 500,000 personnel and cost an estimated 18 billion Soviet rubles—roughly US$68 billion in 2019 adjusted for inflation

Chernobyl disaster

Cleanup started in August 1979, and officially ended in December 1993, with a total cleanup cost of about $1 billion.[18]

Severe #nuclear reactor accidents likely every 10 to 20 years, European study suggests

👉Catastrophic nuclear accidents such as core #meltdowns in #Chernobyl & #Fukushima are MORE LIKELY to happen than previously assumed..
sciencedaily.com/releases/2012/…
Based on operating hours of ALL civil #nuclear reactors & # of #meltdowns that have occurred, scientists have calculated events may occur once every 10 to 20 years (👉based on the CURRENT NUMBER of reactors) -- some 200x 👀 MORE often than estimated in the past😳

Western Europe has worlds highest risk of radioactive contamination caused by major reactor accidents:

Alarmist not so alarmist now.
Climate Crisis: Science failed to predict flood & heat intensity

Top climate scientists have admitted they failed to predict intensity of German #floods & the North American heat dome #cdnpoli #cdnmedia #bcpoli #bcheatwave

#climatescience former Met Office chief scientist Prof
told BBC News: "We should be alarmed because the IPCC #climatemodels are just not good enough

It’s is IMPOSSIBLE to say how much of an (existential) emergency we are in because we don’t have the tools to answer question🤔
Some scientists argue that it's futile to wait for the @IPCC_CH to say how bad the #climatecrisis will be 👀
