newer reactor designs[edit]

To the keepers of this article, there seems to be a pretty interesting overview of the latest reactor designs at Nuclear power reconsidered. Some of that information might be useful in the Research section of this article. They've gone more deeply into it.Harborsparrow (talk) 22:56, 27 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Nuclear zero-emission?[edit]

In the introduction, the article says that the USA produce "800 TWh of zero-emissions electricity per year". It is obvioulsy not zero-emission: green house gases are emitted in the process of building the plant, extracting and transporting the fuel and decomissionning the plant. 82.147.145.235 (talk) 05:24, 22 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed. --TuomoS (talk) 06:24, 22 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected edit request on 15 November 2023[edit]

Under the section titled 'Safety' in the third paragraph 'With a death rate of 0.07 per TWh' should be changed to 'With a death rate of 0.03 per TWh'. The source is citation 199 in the nuclear power page, which is this article [1]. This is the source cited for the original statistic, but I believe it was copied incorrectly.

Fixed. It was not copied incorrectly, but the source has been updated in 2022, based on more recent analysis and estimates. --TuomoS (talk) 20:38, 15 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Intro[edit]

Intro is too long. Info on end-of-life-fuel-cycle is unnecessary as is repeated in the fuel cycle section; to focus on such suggests bias. But what a weird bias hey. Like Coprophobia. Stick the waste back down to mines from whence it came. Focus on the benefits. 118.149.93.125 (talk) 08:57, 3 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
