SACOME has put published a glossy portfolio edition of the 6-part series (9 pages in total) was done by me and Ben Heard for the
SA Mines & Energy Journal – you may find this useful for family and friends! (some of these individual articles were already published on BNC and
DecarboniseSA). Thanks to Megan Andrews and Dayne Eckermann for putting this together.
The
aims were to be: (i) easy to understand, (ii) concise but accurate,
(iii) attractively presented, and (iv) to tackle the most common
objections raised by anti-nuclear folks.
The
content covers generation IV technology, safety, radioactive waste,
sustainability and carbon emissions of uranium supplies, small modular
reactors, and economic competitiveness compared to other low-carbon
energy options. The overarching context is nuclear as a solution to climate change. That's what Ben and I really care about, after all.
(Note that we offered this series gratis as a community service -- we are educators, after all, and to us, dissemination of evidence-based knowledge is its own reward).
