1 is energy-intensive and powerful, which is beyond the reach of other energy sources. This feature determines that its traffic flow is small, which can alleviate the traffic pressure.
In terms of energy storage, nuclear energy is easier to store than other new energy sources such as solar energy and wind energy. The storage area of nuclear fuel is very small, and it is usually refueled every two years in nuclear ships or nuclear submarines. On the contrary, equipment burning heavy oil or coal requires huge storage tanks or occupies a large area.
Nuclear energy is cleaner and will not produce carbon dioxide. Gases such as sulfur dioxide, carbon dioxide and nitrous oxide emitted by a large number of organic fuels in the world not only directly endanger human health and crop growth, but also lead to acid rain and the "greenhouse effect" of the atmosphere and destroy the ecological balance. Comparatively speaking, nuclear power plants do not have these hazards. In the global environment of limiting greenhouse gases, the development of nuclear energy is almost regarded as the only way to develop the economy and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. So as to effectively reduce the discharge of major pollutants, improve the local ambient air quality and create a good production and living environment for the people.
4 nuclear power is "economical" than thermal power. The cost per kilowatt hour of a power plant consists of three parts: building depreciation, fuel cost and operating cost. Mainly construction depreciation and fuel costs. Because nuclear power plants pay special attention to safety and quality, the construction cost is higher than that of thermal power plants, generally 30% ~ 50% higher, but the fuel cost is much lower than that of thermal power plants. It is estimated that the fuel cost of thermal power plants accounts for about 40% ~ 60% of the power generation cost, while the fuel cost of nuclear power plants only accounts for 20% ~ 30%. Experience has proved that the power generation cost of nuclear power plants is lower than that of thermal power plants 15% ~ 50%.
