As the world faces the effects of climate change, and pressure mounts to reduce emissions from fossil fuel-based energy sources, countries are looking at newer ways to switch to renewable, including shifting existing technologies to non-polluting methods.
Now, a group of Indian researchers have demonstrated a way in which nuclear energy can go truly renewable.
But wait. Isn't nuclear power a renewable source of energy? Well, kind of. Let us explain.
IS NUCLEAR ENERGY RENEWABLE?
Nuclear power, mostly used in the production of electricity, is widely considered to be a renewable source of energy. However, the raw material that is used to generate nuclear power through a process called fission is non-renewable. Nuclear power plants need a specific form of uranium called Uranium-235.
