Hi guys, wondering if any of you know anything about nuclear power
basically for a project we have to reduce the Co2 emissons for the UK by a certian amount..
Currently for electricity production the UK use nuclear power 17%, we want to increase this to 70%
My question is, what would the best way to go about this?
What type of reactor would be best? and how many would we need?
Money is not a factor, but time is, the deadline is 2030, we can by opyimistic with fairly new technologies aslong as we back it up.
I was thinking of using fast breed reactors as they can use converted uranium so effecetively uranium would not become a finite resource as if we used FBR we would have enough for 3000 years, but im not sure if this is feasible?
Has anyone got any good ideas?
Cheers in advance!
