[ RadSafe ] Re: Global Warming Fuel cycling is it expensive?

[parthasarathy k s]

Dear Dr Raabe,

I understand that some MIT scholars conclude that fuel cycling is expensive.

Have we to do fuel cycling later? What is your view? The economics of nuclear power seems to be dicy. In India power tariff is currently not left to market forces. The price is always an administered one under the relevant legislation. In that context, nuclear power tariff is comaparable to power from coal fired stations. Hydropower is the cheapest. Power from Units 1 & 2 of the Tarapur Atomic Power Station (1969 wintage)  is sold at a price comparable to hydro, at around 94 paise per kwh (1Re= 100 paise; One US$~Rs 46)

regards
Parthasarathy

> Hey, Guys,

The polar ice caps are not actually melting away,

We are entering one of the coldest winters  with very cold weather and early snow falls in many areas of the country,

This week the southern State of Louisiana had  the earliest snow fall ever recorded,

Dirty air is bad for health and the environment but nuclear waste bothers the public,

So, we need to switch totally to nuclear power with fuel recycling for electricity (maybe using the French model),

And with hydrogen fuel cell vehicles for transportation using hydrogen produced from water by electrolysis with nuclear electricity.

The real problem is that determined antinuclear  forces are running our country and they are heading us into an energy and economic abyss.
