Do you think nuclear power is a sustainable energy source? Why?
The amount of energy that the world’s uranium-235 supply could generate is 3.2*10^21 J. The world’s energy needs are about 5.5*10^20 J per year. The amount of uranium-235 needed per year is 0.171875 kg. The current resources of uranium-235 would be able to supply the world's energy for 58.2 years. 1. Nuclear power only accounts for about 4.5% of energy generated. If we continue to use uranium-235 at current rates, how long will supplies last?
