Einstein and mass-energy
In 1905 Albert Einstein proposed his special theory of relativity
His theory predicted that the total energy of a particle is the sum of its kinetic energy and its rest energy.
E = rest energy (J), m = mass (kg), c2 = 9.0×1016 m2/s2

Nuclear safety and consquences
Core must be run relatively cool – lower
efficiency (32% vs. 38% for coal plant)
Power plants have a limited life span
Environmental safety concerns and cost
overruns have halted new construction

Nuclear Waste
Spent fuel from a nuclear reactor is a high-level radioactive waste
We need a place to safely deposit these wastes for 10,000+ years• Long-term thermal management needed
• No water exposure
Waste is currently stored on site in large pools of water next to the reactor.

Disposal of nuclear waste
The government has chosen deep burial at
Yucca Mountain, Nevada
Other options include burial in salt beds, burial
under Antarctic ice sheets, seabed disposal,
launching into space, and fuel reprocessing,
but most countries choose burial in rock or salt.
