Coal Mining Produces More Deaths Per TWh Than Nuclear, Study Says

Everybody's been talking lately about the threat that nuclear power poses to humans, that's a known fact. Another fact which few think of is the number of deaths coal mining produces, both direct and indirect, through the various diseases triggered by the fine carbon dust.

The "Hydrogen Effect" Making 100% Safe Nuclear Dump Sites

Although they provide us with clean electricity, nuclear plants are often criticized, among others, for their residues after the primary radioactive material is spent. Normally, they are buried in depleted uranium mines, and thus their impact is minimized, but there are lots of situations when things could get dangerous as the radioactive material could infiltrate deep inside the earth, and pollute the underground springs.

Nuclear Waste Disposal: An Issue That Won’t Heal by Itself

Shockingly, of the 437 nuclear power reactors on the globe in 31 countries, none possess high-level nuclear waste disposal facilities. That’s because none exist....

Small Bead Polymer Reduces the Amount of Radioactive Waste Generated by Nuclear Power Plants

The disposal of the old core rods and also the reactor operation results in a large amount of low-level waste, especially contaminated cooling water. But nuclear power could solve our energy problem if only we could find a way to make it clean.
