NUCLEAR POWER MYTH-BUSTING Q&A

Nuclear power myth-busting Q&A

  • What do scientists say about nuclear power in relation to other energy sources?
  • Isn’t nuclear power better than coal in the short term because of immediate danger of fuelling climate change?
  • How does nuclear power stack up against other energy sources by cost of production?
  • Thorium reactors … aren’t they a good option?
  • Isn’t nuclear fusion power just around the corner?
  • Aren’t there new reactors that are fuelled by nuclear waste ‒ wouldn’t this solve the problem of radioactive waste?
  • Isn’t it true that Finland and Sweden are about to start operating high-level nuclear waste dumps?
  • Won’t Small Modular Reactors be safer and cheaper?
  • Doesn’t nuclear power have zero emissions?
  • Nuclear accidents are rare, aren’t they?
  • Isn’t it true that Chernobyl only killed 31 people and Fukushima hasn’t killed anyone?
  • How much water does a nuclear power plant consume?
