@dump_stack Yes, the political semantics today is completely screwed up... People are arguing about some silly labels without even fully understanding what's behind them...

Belgium 🇧🇪 Replacing nuclear energy: Engie Electrabel plans four gas plants 🤷‍♂️ #co2

Fossil gas - 490 gCO2/kWh
Nuclear - 12 gCO2/kWh

@boud @djsumdog

You're absolutely right, but the worst nuclear accident that can happen in third-generation PWR reactor is shutdown in case of total loss of external and internal power, and loss of coolant.

And you cannot run risk analysis in industry without *comparing* against alternatives, can you?

This is precisely why I highlighted the deep geologic repositories in Germany - they are there, they store cyanides, mercury, arsenic... yet nobody cares.

@dajbelshaw It will be actually fun if one day you totally revisit the conclusions of your thesis! 😂 Which would be perfectly fine from epistemologic point of view...

This news feels like 1500 not 2020... (be sure to read the detail inside)

And this widespread disinformation is precisely the reason why I always just bring the discussion to these basic engineering metrics:

Now, as you talk about "corporate misleading", let's just scroll through this gallery:

@boud @djsumdog

I don't know the anti-nuclear movement in France and I can merely swear in French, but I can't see then come up with any qualitatively new and significant arguments that those by global "environmental" organisations. And these are simply invalid and pseudo-scientific.

@boud

Because, again, this is engineering challenge that has been misrepresented by "environmental" activists.

In Germany there are actually already TWO deep ACTIVE geologic repositories - Herfa-Neurode and Zielitz.

There have been zero protests or controversies around them. Why? Because they "only" store highly toxic waste like arsenic, mercury, cyanides. But not nuclear.

Main difference? Nuclear will be 7% toxic after 100 years, the others remain 100..

@boud

Regarding the waste, there are two reasons why new storage is introduced so slowly: political and economical. Political - people are misinformed by Greenpeace and protest. Economical - the amount of waste is so tiny now that it's not economically viable to build expensive underground storage. Yet.
