Nuclear Energy in North America

Nuclear power is a stable source of non-emission energy and is the cornerstone of energy demand in many countries. Currently, 463 commercial nuclear reactors in over 30 countries produce 372,000 megawatts. North America received 17% of the energy required from the reactor, the United States gained 17th in the world and 21st in Canada. Although this seems like a good part, nuclear energy from nine countries produces more than 40% of the electricity required. But why the continent that depends on North American energy and environmentally friendly continents produces such a small percentage of energy from stable non emissions?

In March 2008, Toshiba US Nuclear Energy (TANE), a subsidiary of NRG and Toshiba, jointly developed a project with Nuclear Innovation North America (NINA - 88% NRG, 12% TANE). In February 2009, TANE signed an Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) contract, and if it ultimately decided to proceed with the project, the contract will be converted into a turnkey contract. After TAN announced that the project will be $ 4 billion higher than the previous forecast of $ 13 billion later, CPS Energy decided to reduce its contribution to 7.625% in February 2010, and NINA expanded its share to 92.375% I did.

We live in the era of new nuclear insecurity. Current news articles concern North Korea, Russia and even Iran are concerned about the possibility of nuclear attacks in the United States or the precise capabilities of American enemies. Recent news that President Trump has urged us to significantly increase our nuclear reserves, many are looking at the bad calculations in the nuclear era and in many cases this problem is resolved safely at the end of the Cold War I believe it was done. At the time of the investigation, the children talked about incredibly wonderful information about the threat they felt. Professor of psychology interviewed in an interview with Red Book said, "Today's children know that the annihilation of nuclear weapons is not a personal nightmare.This is a terrible public reality - adults also fear it I am. "

The only problem the US has to nuclear power is this problem. After the Second World War, the word "nuclear power" was somewhat annoying. The existence of a nuclear bomb may shake the whole world in boots. Since these two have names, this threat will be transferred to nuclear power. However, nuclear power is not created in the same process as weapons. In the event of an accident, nuclear power plants do not exert the same effect as nuclear weapons attacks. Indeed, there are many safety devices at 99 nuclear power plants in the US, and even if accidents occur, there is little damage.
