waste each year. More than 70% of Americas emission-free

countries around the world.

Long construction time, plus higher cost due to complex radiation .

Unknown risk Waste lasts 200-500 thousand years. Target for terrorism

Lower carbon dioxide and other green house gases.

Future nuclear waste can be recycled Lower operating costs Large power generating capacity able to

meet the industrial and city needs.
