Nuclear fuel will last us for 4 billion years
Some people claim nuclear fuel is inexhaustible and circular, others say we'll run out soon. We do the math. Turns out, it's roughly as inexhaustible as sunlight.
Nuclear fuel will last us for 4 billion years Nuclear fuel will last us for 4 billion years By Dr. Nick Touran, Ph.D., P.E., 2020-10-28, Reading time: 7 minutes As shown in our energy flow diagram , our energy resource options are derived either directly from sunlight (solar, wind, hydro, biofuel), by digging up fossilized organic matter (coal, oil, gas), or from accessing primordial energy (nuclear fission, geothermal, tidal, fusion). These are all limited in quantity. Some will last us about as long as the sun, while others may run out soon and are thus not sustainable. How does nuclear fiss
