Professor John Dyson spent more than 25 years at GlaxoSmithKline, eventually ending his career as VP, Head of Capital Strategy and Design, where he focussed on developing a long-term strategic approach to asset management..
that companies face,.though in reality there is a mix.
This graph paints the picture that scale has.The model does not consider that smaller scale can be made more efficient through step changes in automation which are already being developed.it does not account for the fact that making a larger number of repeat units itself leverages economies of scale and the unit price for small scale could well reduce over time.
This is the dream of new nuclear, where the aim is that smaller multiple units will deliver both a time and cost improvement..The conclusion for me is that scale absolutely matters and it needs to be carefully and thoroughly considered.
and modelled not just for one product but for the unpredictable portfolio of products that will come.
the reality is that.The nuclear industry currently has ways of storing different waste products appropriately.. 12.
The materials that remain radioactive for the longest periods of time can be stored in deep geological formations.. 13.With regards to potential radiological impacts on the environment and human health, analyses demonstrate that appropriate measures to prevent occurrence of potentially harmful impacts, or mitigate their consequences, can be implemented using existing technology at reasonable cost.. 14.
Provided that all industrial activities in the nuclear fuel cycle comply with regulatory frameworks and related Technical Screening Criteria, measures to control and prevent potentially harmful impacts on human health and the environment are in place to ensure very low impact.. 15.The average annual exposure of a member of the public, due to effects attributable to nuclear-energy-based electricity production (including mining) is about 0.2 mSv, 10,000 times less than the average annual exposure due to natural background radiation.. 16.
