The role of conventional nuclear power in our energy future
¿ªÔÆÌåÓý
"The primary shortcoming of nuclear power is that it is extremely expensive compared to all other energy options. This is because nuclear fission is an inherently dangerous technology, which necessitates very costly safeguards during construction, operation and decomissioning, as well as for the radioactive fuel and waste. "The cost of electricity from a new nuclear power plant ranges from three to over thirty times more than the electricity from solar, wind and battery power (SWB) "The cost of nuclear power has risen over 25% in the last 10 years, while in the same period the cost of solar power has fallen almost 90%, the cost of wind power has dropped fallen nearly 50% and the cost of batteries has fallen roughly 90%." |
