Nuclear Energy Project-Need your help

[tigersfan455]

Below is the url of a web page that i have created for my senior exit project needed in order to graduate high school.  If you would please read the website and post any comments regarding nuclear energy on this forum.  Your help is greatly appreciated, thanks.

Excellent work!
Is there any specific help you need from the Nukeworker community? A certain number of "hits", or a certain number of e-sigs on the guestbook? Let us know. We REALLY like to see pro-nuke sentiment in schools.

Any number signings on the guestbook would be great.  All I really need is discussion from people who have viewed the website either on this forum or on the guestbook.

Good job!  Interesting website - obvious that you did your research.  As someone who has worked in the nuclear industry for many years, I too appreciate the positive approach you took to our industry.

Good job.

PM if you need help.

My background is Chemistry as it applies to nuclear power.

Good research.

Very nice project with a lot of information.  You should try to get a link posted on "I-am-bored.com".  You'll get millions of hits from that.

I signed your guestbook hopefully more here will do the same.

I also signed the guestbook. Excellent work.

One thing that could be considered: nuclear is essentially carbon neutral (though I have seen a Greenpeace spokesman complain that the combustion engines used during construction and in backup systems mean nuclear is NOT carbon neutral). In the interest of becoming carbon neutral, "green energy" engineers are considering ways to sequester carbon dioxide from fossil fuel power plants to keep all carbon out of the atmosphere. The challenge is not only capturing the carbon dioxide, but storage afterwards. Storage as a gas would require a huge volume or high pressure.

With nuclear power, most waste products are contained within the spent fuel rods. Not only has the waste been captured, but it is in a form which allows for simple long-term storage. The dreaded spent fuel of nuclear is analogous to what other energy sources are trying to achieve.
