Nuke power

Currently there are 440 nuclear power reactors operating in 32 countries with 61 under construction. There are 94 units in the US Between 1977 and 2013 no new nuke plants were built in the US and only two since then. In 1990 there were 112 plants. The reasons for this are two fold. First was concern about safety but there has only been on reactor accident and no one was injured or killed. The second is waste storage. All of the waste produced from all reactors could be stored in an area the size of a football field at depth of less than 10 yards. With the onset of small thorium reactors the safety threat is even less and not only is the amount of waste far less these new plants can use up the stored waste from the old plants. Nuke power plants be they old or new emit zero carbon
