In scientific terms, the energy released from the core or the nucleus of an atom is called nuclear energy. In the real world, nuclear energy is simply ‘organised chaos’, an oxymoron to the very core.
Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk on Saturday suggested countries should increase nuclear power generation. He marked nuclear power generation as very important for national security and warned against the shutdown of power plants.
While the capital cost of establishing nuclear power plants may seem high, the combined capital and operation and management costs make nuclear energy the most economic option.
According to their projection, the 850-MW supply can displace an annual consumption of around 1.4 million tons of coal or 930,000 liters of oil.
Nuclear power stations are expensive to build but cheap to operate. The economy of power generation is analysed according to “Levelised Cost of Electricity” (LCOE). LCOE accounts for the overall building cost, cost of operation and the cost of waste management in respect to the overall electricity output of the station over its lifetime.
The energy white paper, adopted by the Cabinet Friday, said Japan faces an "urgent task" of reducing carbon emissions coming from utilities that have relied heavily on fossil fuels to make up for shortages of cleaner nuclear energy.
