Nuclear power at a glance:
-nuclear power gives France the cleanest air of any industrialized country, and the cheapest electricity in all of Europe
-In countries with nuclear power, radioactive wastes comprise less than 1% of total industrial toxic wastes
-nuclear power produces far less waste material than fossil-fuel based power plants
-Contrary to popular belief, coal power actually results in more radioactive waste being released into the environment than nuclear power
-The population effective dose equivalent from radiation from coal plants is 100 times as much as nuclear plants
-Reprocessing can potentially recover up to 95% of the remaining uranium and plutonium in spent nuclear fuel
-The world's present measured resources of uranium are enough to last for centuries at current consumption rates.
Until we can achieve truly efficient solar cells, Nuclear power will be the best energy source for the modern world, its clean, efficient, plentiful, and affordable.
