I compiled a list of problems with nuclear energy and posted it on this blog. There are many reasons that nuclear fission is not the answer to our energy needs or to climate change mitigation. One reason I keep coming back to is that nuclear fission is just too expensive and it will ultimately price itself out of the market.
Ambient office = 126 nanosieverts per hour
Ambient outside = 103 nanosieverts per hour
Soil exposed to rain water = 103 nanosieverts per hour
Ambient office = 119 nanosieverts per hour
Ambient outside = 86 nanosieverts per hour
Soil exposed to rain water = 86 nanosieverts per hour
Ambient office = 74 nanosieverts per hour
Ambient outside = 108 nanosieverts per hour
Soil exposed to rain water = 108 nanosieverts per hour
The Massachusetts Institute of Technology has been involved in nuclear fusion research for over twenty five years. Dennis Whyte is the head of MIT’s Plasma Science and Fusion Center. In 2014 he taught a class whose class project was aimed at reducing the cost of nuclear fusion reactors.
