We could very well end up damaging the environment far quicker than we are now. Mishandling of waste, improper safety protocols or miscalculations ok safety protocols, no backup plans for failures, terrorists, wars.

I am pro nuclear power. Nuclear power plants are almost completely safe if they are properly built. Most nuclear power plant accidents have been caused because something wasn't very well built or thought out. For instance, the powerplant that exploded in 2011 in Japan was not ready for a tsunami. Additionally, we simply dont have time to wait to have the perfect technology for nuclear power. Climate change is happening fast, and we need to do something!

Fourth generation reactor are meltdown proof.

Thank you so much for this optimistic piece about nuclear power. I just wanted to add more about the positive effects. In the worst case scenarios of a massive earthquake and tidal wave with Fukushima no one died of radiation poisoning. But rather from the overreaction of the government not allowing people to return to their homes. A lot of people could have returned to their homes with very few mitigating factors. With Chernobyl, the RBMK reactors primary design was to create plutonium for nuclear weapons. Electricity was just a byproduct. The accident occurred because of the reckless ambitions of the lead engineer on duty. The deaths were created by the Soviet government not being upfront about the disaster. Just hundreds of feet away was reactor number three and then reactor number two and one. They kept running for about another 15 years. In both these scenarios today there is tourism including people that are walking right up to the reactor for a limited amount of time. Everyone knows that the news sells fear and anger. The news is part of the problem with keeping this truly green energy source from being deployed. There are forces that want to make nuclear power so expensive it can never be bilt. Principle among them are oil companies. The deaths and expense of global warming with its extreme weather is obvious and plays out everyday. I'm excited about generation 4 reactors. They're about six different designs and they have about six different characteristics. Some of the best characteristics are -They're considered walk away safe. -They burn more nuclear waste than they create. -The waste is considered hazardous for far less time. -They're non-proliferation so they can't be used for nuclear weapons. - The designs are small and can be as common as a hospital. They take up the footprint of about a Walmart. A truly local power grid to accompany wind and solar. This is truly the future that's going to power our electric cars and trucks. Some of the byproducts of nuclear power is creating hydrogen. This could power our airplanes, trains and ships. I look forward to clean skies without smog or inversion layers. I would much rather live next door to a nuclear power plant then a power plant admitting CO2 gas in other poisons and toxins.

@Your Mother is a Hamster he isn’t implying we should building Chernobyl reactors. There were multiple of issues with the reactor and its maintenance iirc. As to where you got that people can never return to Fukushima, that’s partially true but also partially false at the same time. People have returned to the city, it’s just that certain areas are still irradiated. As for the nuclear waste, there are methods in development to reusing some of the waste, and there will be a storage site in Finland were we could store such waste with little to no issue as it’s in the middle of no where, with little to no natural disasters and a good amount of distance from population centers since it’s Finland(and since it buried fairly deep). There ups and downs to each power source and nuclear is no different. I’m not downplaying it’s dangers but we do have ideas to deal with such problems and will have to since we’re running out of fossil fuels to power our ever growing energy needs. And if you really want to go against nuclear energy, then direct that energy to the 15,000 nuclear weapons we have that could carpet bomb the Earth.

"With Chernobyl, (...) The accident occurred because of the reckless ambitions of the lead engineer on duty. The deaths were created by the Soviet government not being upfront about the disaster." Looking for who is guilty won't change the numbers. History tells us that nuclear accidents happen despite of the country or reactor generation. Punkt. You are excited about Thorium reactors, but they don't still exist. It's just a theoretical/experimental model. In the mean time I would install some solar panels over the roof to save almost 50% of the bill. That alone renders nuclear too expensive in comparison, and shows that all the money gone into R+D should be better invested in pushing forward solar tech. YMMV but numbers don't lie.

People, do some research - haven't any of you heard of Gen IV reactors? For example, the Integral Molten Salt Reactor or IMSR (made in Canada) is a completely different kind of reactor which: 1. Cannot melt down, as the fuel/salt mix is already in a molten state 2. Creates extremely small amounts of waste, which are only radioactive for a couple hundred years (instead of 20,000!) 3. Can use spent Uranium as a fuel - or Thorium, which is as plentiful as lead, and safe enough to hold in your hand 4. Does not create usable bomb-making material (Plutonium) - so no proliferation problems 5. Is much smaller and less expensive than the huge outdated reactors in use all over the place 6. Is completely walk-away safe - so worst case scenario is that the plant shuts down and cools off by itself ... and many many more benefits

Do you have a better option? are you willing to starve to death to stop nuclear power? Are you a luddite? Give me a source on that number. 2.4 million pounds is way to high, reactors only contain thousands of pounds of fuel not millions. You still aren't changing the fact that more radioactive material is released from coal burning than by the nuclear industry even including meltdowns and accidents.

@adamselene621

stardude692001 Another excuse? Yeah, uranium is found in nature, that's right, buried deep in the ground and in a very dilute form. Left where it belongs, it is essentially harmless, but dug up and concentrated it is no longer natural, and PLUTONIUM is in MOX fuel rods at around 6%. Plutonium is about 2000 times more toxic than uranium. This is *weapons grade* plutonium, reclaimed from obsolete thermonukes. 2.4 million pounds of fuel rods was what Tepco claimed to be in the inventory when those reactors blew up, melted down, melted out and the fuel pools drained and burned. Tepco claimed at a different time that there was twice that amount there, which is more likely. It isn't about the fuel loads in the reactors, it is about the entire inventory, and let's not forget that "spent" fuel has gone through the reaction and is much more toxic and unstable than fresh fuel. Hot particles are not a fantasy; we have *all* breathed them now, and ANY of that is *guaranteed* cancer in the future. 5-10-15 years, perhaps, but it IS cancer. Do I have a better solution? Of course. Solar, wind, hydro, wave and tidal, geothermal; all current and working technologies. All require no burning of *anything* to operate. As far as coal goes, it isn't an option, even with modern stack scrubbers you still have the toxic mess to somehow dispose of. The oceans produce most of the oxygen; with their death, we will all suffocate, and we have no idea how to stop it, nor does it matter, there is already enough nuke gunk in the Pacific to kill the other oceans over time. Are you willing to suffocate in order to use the most expensive, dangerous and evil source of electricity ever devised? It matters not; it will happen if the cancers don't take you first. Me bite the hand? No, I am ANTI nuke. I also use grid power very rarely, not because of the cost, because of the sources, and the war machine that nuke is essential for. A luddite? LOL Hardly. I enjoy technology. The difference is that I discern between harmless and harmful technologies. Nuke is harmful, natural energy is not. Pretty simple really.

I'm Nuclear supporter, because it is one of the cleanest energy but also can produce huge amount of power in a short time, meanwhile solar and wind energy are the best, but you need hundreds square miles of solar farm or wind farm to equally produce same amount of electricity compare to a single nuclear reactor.

Firstly thanks kurzgesagt for 7 years full of videos with educative and beautiful content with birds. I think we should use them with a great discipline if we want to end climinate change Thank you kurzgesagt (sorry for english)

I subscribed to this channel 3 years ago and saw this video 1 year ago and my teacher recommended this video today!

I honestly have to say more research should be done on nuclear energy to make that free electricity dream possible. Or, find a new way to supply more energy. Either way, let's hope the scientists can figure out for the future of mankind. Nice work again ducks!

there has been 60 years worth of research. its not about how much we know its about what we do with it. Build them in safe areas, build them well, and man them with knowledgeable competent people and there will be no problems.

Well I learn something everyday. Still, I hope energy can be produced without salvaging nature. Of course, the energy I'm talking about is enough to support every human on earth for free, a fat dream obviously but let's wait and see...

I feel that the pros definitely outweigh the cons. I think most people would agree that we need power, and that solar energy is the best. But the change over to green energy is going to take a while, and nuclear power is the best option.

People should shift all concerns about nuclear over to coal because that is the real killer, and it doesn't even need to melt down to do so...just normal operation kills millions a year. www.eea.europa.eu/data-and-maps/indicators/en35-external-costs-of-electricity-production-1/en35

Could you guys do an episode on Thorium Energy(Liquid Fluoride Thorium Reactor(LFTR)). It's a new and exciting up and coming source of energy and I believe if you do just a little bit of research you will love it.

Molten salt reactors... About fifty times as efficient as light water reactors, they not only get almost all of the energy out of whatever fissionable materials they are given, requiring much less fuel to make the same amount of energy, they also produce waste that is significantly less radioactive and toxic due to being far more efficient.

@Merecir

7 жыл бұрын

If you use Thorium as the main fuel the only long term radioactive element produced in any quantity would be Plutonium 238. But that can hardly be called waste, as it is the very stuff NASA uses to power its long range space probes and big rovers like curiosity. Google RTGs.

@joshfritz5345

7 жыл бұрын

Merecir the great thing about molten salt reactors is that you can throw in just about anything fissionable into them, and they'll suck just about all the energy available out of it, unlike current reactors which only use around 2% of the available energy stored in fissionable materials.

@joshfritz5345

Chandler Chapman-Fong fusion reactors you mean? yeah, science is still working on that one. we've gotten a net gain of energy out of them now, which is a huge step, but they aren't commercially viable yet.

josh fritz what about breeder reactors with molten salt. A breeder actually makes more fuel (plutonium) then it uses(uranium)

@Merecir

7 жыл бұрын

LFTRs are breeders, they convert Thorium into Uranium 233. And since you start so low you get another fission event at Uranium 235. After that you get plutonium 238 which you remove from the reactor and use to power space probes. You no not want to fission plutonium, as the resulting transuranics you get when a neutron is absorbed are the really nasty ones that makes you want to store the unused fuel as waste for 100.000 years.

Anybody else find it amusing that a company that converts printed matter into audio is investing so much in video advertisement? Here in Israel there are commercials for radio ad-space that claim that "only in IBA [israeli broadcasting association], radio advertising works", which would be funny enough if they only advertised on their own radio (indicating that nobody bid for those slots), but actually air those ads on TV as well...

You really helped me with my project for school ‘nuclear energy’

Do a video on how electricity works!

Looking forward to watching the rest of this three part video, in the next minute. lol

whats the chance that i find a random picture on the internet about nuclear energy i needed for my homework and it turns out to be an upload from my favourite science channel.

Tons of water to the extremely hot temperatures turned into steam flowing through the giant turbines attached to a generator that generates electricity for a city with population of 2 million people! And its doing all that without poluting the clouds and Earth's atmosphere by burning fossil fuel! On top of that its very cheap and easy to produce while the fossil fuel will be soon depleted.

Hey Kurzgesagt! Fan from India. Also, checked out your hindi subtitles, it's inaccurate and horrible to be frank. Your content is the best, and I love everything you do. As your research is so authentic and accurate, I thought you should know how bad and simply wrong the hindi translations are. Love from India. Keep up the good work

Being in the nuclear division in the navy, I can say that it's the most efficient source of power. As long as the operators are competent, and have a sufficient level of knowledge, no nuclear accidents should happen.

Kudos to scientists for turning the most destructive thing in their time to an endless power source

This channel deserve more than this

Would love to see this miniseries re-done! Maybe in a few meaty chunky videos. 15-20mins Love you guys :)

It’s funny that I just became a Fallout fan and this got on my recommendations.

supposedly there are advances coming down the pipeline which will make nuclear energy the way to go. improved reactors will eliminate radioactive waste and instead be able to continue extracting energy from the fuel rods until it reaches a much more inert and non-harmful state.

Really A Great Explanation

Thanks for explaining this video
