Nuclear

Uranium oxide pellets do not conduct heat well and thus crack in shifting heat of nuclear cores and must be replaced before all the fuel is used. This makes highly radioactive depleted uranium. [DU is about 60% as radioactive as refined uranium.] The new UBeOxide pellets conduct heat better and will not crack or break as quickly, making nuclear power more efficient, fuel last longer, ad depleted uranium slightly less toxic.

Nuclear reactions will never stop releasing radioactive gas, which no filter can capture, and is often not counted on quotas or treated in any way.


However, this improvement still will only improve nuclear power's efficiency by a margin.. It currently stands at 1 unit of energy consumed for each 1.3 units produced. Old generation fuel cells produce 1.54 units of energy for each 1 consumed, and new improvements promise to reduce cost considerably. Wind farms in suitable and urban areas contribute clean energy to the system and hydrogen fuel will entirely replace every other dirty and complicated fuel source, except possibly fusion and certain clean hydrogen-skimming systems.

We can freeze Nuclear Proliferation by perfecting and distributing power plants that are cheaper ad more efficient than nuclear plants. This market module will ensure that anyone desiring large amounts of cheap power, such as Iran, Russia, or China, or lower technology nations aspiring to plentiful energy, will not turn to dangerous and filthy nuclear plants, in favor of the cheaper more efficient method. Anyone seeking the dangerous and dirty nuclear plants will be immediately suspect of ulterior motives with purely economic and systemic proof. NNP Treaty lives.
