Nuclear Energy Is About To Get A Whole Lot Safer Thanks To This Burgeoning Technology

When you picture nuclear energy, you most likely think of one of two things. Either, you see it as an Uber clean energy source, capable of powering us into a carbon-neutral utopia, or you picture a dangerous atomic nightmare, akin to the three-eyed fish swimming in the radioactive waste water of Mr Burns plant. In reality, nuclear is one of the safest and cleanest forms of energy we have, yet this pop-culture led fear of nuclear power has perfused through our entire society, and as such, we are turning our backs on the potentially planet-saving technology. However, <a href="https://www.deepisolation.com/" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">Deep Isolation</a> has repurposed technology from the oil industry that promises to make nuclear power even safer, and leave the nay-sayers no place to hide. But, is this enough to save the nuclear industry? So, let’s address the elephant in the room first. Nuclear energy isn’t a utopian energy source, but it is one of the safest and cleanest energies out there. According to <a href="https://www.statista.com/statistics/494425/death-rate-worldwide-by-energy-source/" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">Statistica</a>, an internationally respected analytics organisation, nuclear power only causes 0.03 deaths per 1,000 TW hrs produced. In comparison, solar kills 0.02 per 1,000 TW hrs, wind kills 0.04 per 1,000 TW hrs, natural gas kills 2.82 per 1,000 TW hrs, biomass kills 4.63 per 1,000 TW hrs, oil kills 18.43 per TW hrs and coal kills 24.62 per TW hrs. <a href="https://medium.com/predict/nuclear-energy-is-about-to-get-a-whole-lot-safer-thanks-to-this-burgeoning-technology-2c14b7497456">Website</a>
