It would generate very little waste, which would also be considerably less radioactive.įor the same quantity of material, nuclear fusion would make it possible to produce 4 million times more energy than fossil fuels: oil, gas and coal. Still at the experimental stage, nuclear fusion gives us hope of being able to produce low-carbon energy in large quantities and on an almost continuous basis. Sample of Uranium Tetrafluoride (UF4) © Oranoįusion energy and the reactors of the future The uranium used as fuel is now enriched to contain more uranium 235, rather than using natural uranium. Water is used as a neutron moderator and coolant. Today, nuclear technology in France uses pressurized water reactors, containing hydrogen, and no longer make use of gas. Heat transfer was achieved by using gas and thus generated CO 2 emissions.
Originally, the reactors contained natural uranium and required heavy water laden with graphite to slow down the neutrons. The technology has evolved considerably since. It was not until the 1960s that fission technology came to be used in the generation of electricity, with the design of the first civil reactors. Originally, nuclear fission was discovered by an Austrian physicist, Lise Meitner and the German chemist, Otto Hahn, who received the Nobel Prize for Chemistry in 1944 for his discoveries. In France, reactors use the process of nuclear fission.
