Renewable Energy & Nuclear Facts

Energy crisis that began in various countries experienced hemisphere requires electric companies switched to alternative energy sources as a replacement and electricity suppliers will need long-term. Revolution energy is taken as an anticipatory steps to replace the conventional energy, especially fossil energy in fulfilling the needs of the global electricity. The availability of fossil energy are now beginning to be limited to the market price rises, making operating costs high electricity production. Also not possible to rely entirely on fossil energy is predicted to run out in a few decades ahead. On the other environmental issues that are also behind the change of electric materials, where electricity companies are required to be environmentally friendly. Various kinds of alternative energy options began ogled by them. One of them is the nuclear energy industry in the eyes of sebgai considered environmentally friendly energy and have the potential release of a large electrical energy. But this opinion seems to be questioned over the value of truth, why is that? 

The Weak Safety System 
There are two possibilities that would be fatal dangers posed after the nuclear power plants (nuclear power) to stand in an area. First is the risk of nuclear accidents in the form of an explosion. Accidents of all time is terdahsyat Chernobyl Accident (North Ukraine) on 26 April 1986 by the explosion which caused an increase in power is too fast in a short time (nuclear excursion). The second is the radiation damage of nuclear waste is dangerous for the environment and health. It is estimated that each year the world's nuclear waste total reached 250,000 tons, and this waste can last for thousands of years of polluting the air, water and soil. Nuclear waste gas mainly radioisotopes can cause thyroid cancer that causes death. Nuclear industry wants us to believe when it all seemed to be safe, but the fact is inherent in nuclear power plant security systems and standard operating procedures. 


Solutions Not Environment-Friendly Energy 
Industry claims that nuclear power plants more environmentally friendly because during the normal operation does not remove greenhouse gas emissions and does not produce gases that are harmful to kesehatam ex: carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, aerosols, nitrogen dioxide and photochemical smoke. But the fact was again denied, until the year 2050 the world needs 32 new nuclear plants each year to reduce emissions only 6% of the electricity sector. This was not comparable to the level of environmental damage from the release of radioactive waste. So nuclear energy is the obvious solution is slow in anticipation of global warming. 

Too Expensive and Slow 
To establish a nuclear power plant takes time, cost and a very large force. In the process of its establishment, a reactor requires around 10 years of workmanship. Besides uranium procurement costs could swell because 85% of the world uranium supply comes from just six countries. Uranium that will be contested senyak 443 licensed nuclear power plant in the world. If cadangn depleted uranium is inevitably competition to get very tight and as the needs of the price will jump. Another constraint is the limited facilities and operational support personnel. Until now only five states that have only uranium enrichment facility and only four states that have the technology and the experts are well-qualified. With limited facilities and supporting facilities of nuclear energy clearly does not allow even distribution of energy for the state khusnya small. 

Solution to the energy revolution in the electricity sector is the utilization of renewable energy (Renewable Energy). This energy is energy that is automatically renewable for using elements of nature to generate electricity. Taking advantage of wind, water, light and heat the earth with designs that are planned to supply electricity needs are defined so much potential of renewable energy to ensure the sovereignty of energy without the threat of radioactive substances and nuclear power plants due to climate change, global warming.
