Thirty five years since the Chernobyl Nuclear incident last week (April 26) ! What have we learnt from that? Why is Nuclear energy so potentially important for future developments ?
In a month's time we will have the G7 Summit here in the UK, with the promise to "to unite leading democracies (...) create a greener, more prosperous future." What does greener mean ?
In this episode we have again Mr Frank Di Bella - semi-retired seasoned mechanical engineer and senior lecturer at the University of Boston! He was the guest in the first episode of the podcast, quite successfully I must add, and I thought he would be a great person to discuss some of the dilemmas and questions about nuclear energy.
In this episode we talk about why nuclear energy and what is it, why - personally - I believe it is important to the general public to understand how silly assumptions that "Renewables" are necessarily good and Nuclear is necessarily bad. Finally we go through in some details about what happened in the accidents of Chernobyl and Fukushima (35 and 10 years ago, respectively) and our thoughts on it.
As I said in the end of the episode - this was our honest try to cover some of the main topics of nuclear energy and hopefully bring a bit more of informed awareness about it.
