Body (English)

  • +The European Union should look into alternative nuclear power sources such as Thorium reactors or nuclear waste reactors. With appropriate funding, there is a potential for generating electricity reliably and with next to no carbon emissions. Those new types of reactors have the advantage that they are safer the conventional reactors and produce less net nuclear waste.
  • +Furthermore as nuclear waste and thorium, an element in the Earth`s crust, are more readily available in the EU than other nuclear fuels. Thus, the dependence on third country suppliers could also be diminished.
  • +Nuclear energy in general allows for a drastic reduction in carbon emissions with relatively little effort.
