novel notions |

|
|
A thermodynamic analysis of the nuclear energy system revealed several novel notions: • energy cliff • energy debt. • CO2 trap • latent CO2 emissions • latent entropy and delayed entropy These notions turn out to determine the potential contribution of nuclear power to climate change mitigation, the energy security and the health hazards by exposure to radioactivity for hundreds of millions of people.
