Great enlightening post cutworm!

A wonderful source of clean energy that is not being used more because of unfounded fears and crony capitalism that can make much more money from building wind turbines.

Worthy of our post of the week!


5 Fast Facts about Spent Nuclear Fuel    

 https://www.energy.gov/ne/articles/5-fast-facts-about-spent-nuclear-fuel

Nuclear energy is one of the largest sources of emissions-free power in the world.

It generates nearly a fifth of America’s electricity and half of its clean energy.

During this process, it creates spent or used fuel (sometimes incorrectly referred to as nuclear waste)

In fact, some in the industry actually consider it a valuable resource.

1.  Commercial spent nuclear fuel is a solid

2. The U.S. generates about 2,000 metric tons of spent fuel each year

3. Spent fuel from U.S. commercial nuclear power reactors is stored at more than 70 sites in 35 states

4. Spent fuel is safely transported across the United States

5. Spent fuel can be recycled
