Anthony Korculanic is the President of XO Media and a respected expert in architecture and design. He spoke about the sustainability of nuclear energy and its potential to become the main source of renewable energy.
Nuclear power is one, if not the largest and most important source of clean energy, generating hundreds of billions of kilowatt-hours annually while keeping potentially dangerous emissions to an absolute minimum.
Anthony Korculanicthe President of XO Media pointed out that renewables, rather than sustainability, is a critical factor in ensuring that the world’s most important contribution to clean energy is available to humanity over the long term.
Sustainability refers to conservation while renewability refers to the replenishment of a resource that is otherwise available in finite amounts. To help his readers and customers better understand the potential pitfalls of nuclear sustainability, Mr. Anthony Korculanic briefly reviewed the process of nuclear power generation.
In nuclear reactors, uranium atoms are broken down into fission products (particles), which then trigger chain reactions with other uranium atoms. The energy released in the process generates heat. As Mr. Anthony Korculanic explained, the main factor hampering the sustainability of nuclear energy is the fact that most reactors rely on ore as the primary source of uranium.
Ore is not a renewable resource and all nations rely heavily on it for various reasons. From bolstering the nation’s infrastructure to making trinkets or other decorative items, almost immeasurable amounts of ore are processed and ultimately wasted every day.
With less mined ore available every minute, the process of generating nuclear power is being challenged. As Mr. Anthony Korculanic states, countries and nations cannot continue their hunt for new deposits indefinitely. Eventually, the global availability of mined ores will be limited and countries will be forced to…
