CASI Nuclear Power Live Panel: What Part of Our Future
On December 18th at 430 pm in the Carmel Barnyard CASI will present a comprehensive live event: CASI Nuclear Power Live Panel – California Arts & Sciences Institute We have three distinguished scientists to convey the complexities of nuclear power and how we can optimize its use in our energy mix. Panelists will include Dr. Gene Nelson, Dr. Robert Campbell and Steve Sprague. Small nuclear reactors will be assessed as well as conventional grid connected nuclear plants.
You will learn some surprising facts: including that nuclear power consumes minimal real estate and has very small environmental impacts, and:
-
Nuclear power is among the safest of all power generation
-
Nuclear power is one a very efficient power sources for reliability and grid integration
-
Nuclear power can be delivered as a small nuclear reactor, enabling grid independence
-
Nuclear fission waste can be recycled at higher percentages than wind or solar e-waste
-
Nuclear power is among the most inexpensive and long life cycle plant use
Our expert panel will also provide factual comparisons of nuclear with other power sources (natural gas, geothermal, hydroelectric, wind, solar) including costs, power wastage, long term effects to the environment, worker safety, reliability. Our notable panel scientists have been intimately involved in the development of nuclear technology and involved in the detailed comparison of nuclear with other major power sources. Their combined experience is at an international level of involvement with nuclear technology; Complimentary appetizers and non alcoholic beverages will be provided.
