The key is the reality that people want to travel and see the world. Based on the blog that I linked to, many of the passengers on the ship seem to be very conscious of the environment and worried about its future. That is the case with many eco-tourists who journey to remote areas.

However, flying around the world imposes a certain hazard to the atmosphere. My purpose for showing just how powerful atomic fission can be as a transportation fuel is to try to get people thinking about how we can move around an leave the smallest possible impact.

An emissions free ship certainly provides less long term impact than one that pumps out diesel smoke.

Every single minute that fossil fuel plants are operating, they are spewing deadly waste products directly into the environment. We have accepted the benefits provided by combustion for thousands of years – since we learned to control fire – but also accepted and mitigated the risks.

We learned how to build chimneys so that the smoke could be safely piped outside of our cabins and tents. We have learned to build tall smokestacks with scrubbers and bag houses, but those only dilute and share the problem with wide areas or put the toxins in sludge pools and land fills.

With nuclear power, we know that the by-products are dangerous if not properly controlled, so we control them. For fifty years, nuclear power plants around the world have been carefully isolating and storing their byproducts. We know where almost every gram is stored and it does not take up much room.

Most of the byproducts are valuable raw material just waiting for a time when it can be recycled into new plants or used for other really exciting applications like sterilizing medical tools, providing long-life batteries, or irradiating food to protect it from spoiling or bacteria.

While trying to paint nuclear in a bright light balance it with the black abyss of the waste it producers.
