Nuclear Fission as a Truly Safe, Renewable and Sustainable Energy Source

ORAL

Abstract

With the advent of uranium extraction from ocean water, the reality of nuclear fission being sustainable and renewable can now be realized. With the dissolved fraction in river water from natural erosion annually depositing almost 4 times the current total earth’s energy use, this source is continually being replenished by plate tectonics. With the medical consequences from the Fukushima disaster now comprehensively being predicted to be below statistical significance for observable medical effects, a revolutionary new paradigm is arising whereby nuclear fission is an environmentally friendly and safe energy option (even under disaster conditions). With nuclear waste now similarly demonstrating viable geological disposal at the WIPP, even enduring literal trials by fire, all legitimate technical arguments against the commercial use of nuclear energy are no longer viable.
