Improvements for nuclear power


A new system in nuclear power has been found, but it doesn’t exist yet it’s just a good idea. It’s called ITER. So it is based on fusioning atoms. There will be between 250kg of waste to 350kg a year, which is nothing compared to before, now we produce tonnes!!! If this system works it will start being constructed in 2030.
An other system of the fusion is VHTR( Very high temperature reactor). 12 countries and the European union are trying to make it work later. The projects goal is to do more electricity with no CO2. This operation is called 4th generation. Nuclear power stations like that are already in construstion but just test power plants. If the system ITER works it will be built in masses in the years 2080.
