We must build more nuclear now or there will be another energy crisis. ✍️ The best time to build new nuclear plants was 20 years ago. The second best time is now. 🔴 Analysis TomChivers
, a professor of radiochemistry at the University of Manchester’s Dalton Nuclear Institute, “that’s what you’re seeing. Sites where there’s been nuclear for decades, putting a new reactor next door to the dead one.”
In a few years, new “small modular reactors” should be available – Rolls Royce think they should be able to have one up and running by 2030. They will be cheaper and easier to build – perhaps taking only a year – but will be able to provide around a third of the energy of a Sizewell. Livens and Thomas think those could be built in old coal plant sites in the Midlands and Wales, if local communities can be persuaded, perhaps with compensation.
Battery technology has improved extraordinarily in the last few years. But it’s nowhere near the point where you could cost-effectively run a whole city off it for two weeks. “There isn’t enough lithium in the world,” says Cashmore, and he’s only half-joking. It has other advantages. Per megawatt generated, a nuclear power station takes up an order of magnitude less land than either wind or solar.
