As a physics engineer I have a very hard time accepting that nuclear power is a correct choice for power generation. Technically we know that it is possible and also that other, renewable methods. Possible does not mean desirable! We have not seen over many years that it is economical.
On the technical side there is the problem that there is no clear, safe method to get rid of the waste. This after many years. Hate heat that a heats up the cooling water supply is another.
On the economy side there is the problem that nuclear power has always cost much more than originally estimated. We have seen the consequences of that in the high price that Ontarians have paid over the years in surcharges.
There is also the problem that uranium is a non-renewable resource. In the long run that will become a real problem that is apparently ignored. How much is known about the time this is going to take?
A few thoughts, but serious ones that must be addressed before going ahead with the operation and expansion of nuclear power systems!
