[@jeffreychan2978]

@DM I cannot agree thou, nuclear have its place in the grid mix, same as PV + storage. Obviously from finance point of view, PV basically have no risk, but it is only suited for residential use. For commercial use, like smelters and heavy engineering industries, nuclear does provide a good base load, just that high initial capex prohibited it to be privately financed. Hence, why US and UK are pushing for at least one or two plants, just need it for base load. France is betting on it to be able to supply electricity to its neighbours, when their renewable are destabilising their grid.

[@matthewmaccaughey5016]

Okay So a few things in response to this video. Nuclear energy right now is the only source of dispatchable, scalable, low emissions, and cost effective energy source that is not heavily dependent on climate or geographical conditions. Economics - While it is true that nuclear plants are usually have a high capital cost and take years to build, their fuel and O&M are cheap, they run with very high capacity factors in excess of 90%, and they last a very long time (60+ Years). This makes them very good long term investments delivering electricity at a low to reasonable price. Barakah will be built for approximately $24.4 Billion and is rated for 5380 MWe Net. That means the CAPEX will stand at $4.5/Watt. That is pretty excellent for a country's first nuclear build, especially at this size. Safety - When compared to other sources on a deaths per unit of energy basis, nuclear is the safest source of energy on the planet. Also the idea that nuclear plants are as vulnerable as oil refiners is an absolute falsehood. The containment domes for a PWR are over 1 meter thick worth of nuclear grade concrete. They are designed to take strikes from things like planes and missiles. That's the reason for the multi-billion dollar price tag. Also, when you look at the three biggest accidents (TMI, Chernobyl, and Fukushima) Chernobyl is the only one that actually took lives or got people sick. This is based on to the official United nations studies only Chernobyl stating that there are around 60 killed and roughly 4000 dead later on from cancer. Not something we should ignore or forget, but keep in context. The UAE - The APR-1400 is a fantastic design and the UAE made a great choice by selecting it. When the entire project is finished and all four reactors are running, the site will produce 25% of the the nations electricity. Which means if the UAE repeated the project two more times and built eight more of these its possible they could get up to 75% of their nation's annual needs essentially decarbonizing electricity. By building these reactors they will be able save and export their fossil resources if they choose. Although I hope from a climate stand point they eventually choose not to. Other Points - Nuclear's overall percentage of global energy output didn't decline because we closed a lot of reactors, it dropped because the developing world has been increasing energy use rapidly in the form of fossil fuels. If you want an industrialized economy and human flourishing you need large scale energy use and right now fossil fuels provide that because they are cheap, abundant and reliable. If push comes to shove nations will pick reliable, cheap, dirty energy over unreliable, expensive, clean energy every single time. I support renewables, I think that the UAE should absolutely deploy renewables because they have the resources available (particularly solar), but there are inherent drawbacks to renewables have prevented and will most likely always prevent them from becoming mainstream: they are dilute (take up a lot of land area and resources per TWh), they are variable (they require backup from other sources [usually natural gas] which ups the final cost people pay), and they are very location intensive (they normally have specific geographical requirements) which makes specific sources not feasible or practical in certain places. I am going to be honest and say I was hoping for a little bit better from Al Jazeera on this video. It referenced really biased nuclear watchdog advocates who are arguably not experts, it ignored the significant benefits of this project or just how important an achievement it is for the UAE/The Middle East as a whole, and it was just overall very one sided when it shouldn't have been.

Excellent run down (albeit with a minor error at 4:24).

[@antb535]

Qatar's Al Jazeera is not even trying to hide they don't like UAE 😂

[@maroonburgundy5720]

I think Saudi Arabia should develop nuclear program, uranium enrichment and plutonium production, as well as nuclear weapons to balance the power with Israel and Iran.

[@clusterguard]

the UAE emirates have an intelligent, vanguardist leadership. they are serious people, work very well and should be trusted. in a "what if ..." situation. anyone can be subject to some conspiracy theory, even those who believe they can control de world. best wishes and a brilliant future to all from Greenland.

Where does electricity come from for use at night. Nuclear reactors to not need to lead to nuclear bombs.

[@robbabcock_]

I think AJ cites some legitimate concerns. Nuclear energy is quite problematic for many reasons. There's the obvious security issue and the chance of weapons proliferation, but the cost/kilowatt hour is also not as good as solar in the long run. Note that research into better nuclear could yield much better plants than we have now (especially fusion, which has been 20 years away for 50 years). Solar doesn't have to be solar panels- mirrors can be used to boil water just like we have with nuclear plants. Still, no country owns the atom and everyone has a right to use nuclear technology, even if it's unwise. It's funny that the US holds itself as the only nation trustworthy enough for nukes even though it's also the only nation to ever use them in anger.

[@prospecops]

UAE can't even build any infastrucutre without outside help what makes you think they can build a nuke.

[@B-H76]

I thought the video said this is the first nuclear reactor in the region, how was a reactor attacked 13 times in the past if there were no reactors?

[@eljangoolak]

How come none of these countries are getting sanctioned?

[@matthewserrano4048]

It's about arms race not caring about bio diversity nor the power grid

[@TheSatyamsingham]

Because renewable energy will provide consistent power supply which renewable wouldn't, and if gas is used the country won't be able to maintain is sustainability targets. I am not sure why people don't get this. Nuclear is the most safe, in long term any other methods has higher costs and more damage to environment then nuclear.

[@thetruth392]

Nuclear power not nuclear weapons. Nuclear plants don’t mean you are building nuclear weapons

[@gorgebutton5885]

Thorium. Look it up it’s the best source for clean energy.

[@nikarshadsulaiman9614]

Well my grandpa(former physicist and nuclear specialists)says that we don’t use thorium because it does not contain enough fissile material to initiate a nuclear chain reaction

[@DarkZerol]

What about Tokamak? Specifically Tokamak fusion reactors.

[@gorgebutton5885]

Nik arshad Sulaiman that is true which makes thorium safer. You can control its reaction because it needs a little push to be more fissile. So it is safer to stop reactions

[@maliabbasi3124]

Please also discuss as to how 7 Kg of Uranium was smuggled from Indian market

[@shakalbadlalega]

It's expensive then why they want it?

[@UltimateRaven41]

Because they do not have an unlimited supply of oil (their zenith is long gone) The Sandstorms make the solarpanels hard to clean up and can damage the Windturbines. So nuclear powerplants are the best solutions for them - And YES, the NPP of the 3rd and especially 4th Gen are much more safer, than their predecessors.

[@solapowsj25]

I'd recommend a Nuclear Gulf provided they turn to robotics for future production and development.

[@Christopherg4224]

This is a real question

[@godhallelujahgaming7947]

So Iran can't go nuclear but UEA can?

[@radenbahagia164]

Furthermore its good ideal having Nuclear Batteries also be able to converted sea water into fresh water supply etc etc etc ....

[@Prairielander]

In Canada we have nuclear power, but we do not have nuclear weapons. Also the Canadian reactors use natural uranium and no enrichment facilities ae required so therefore you couldn't even build weapons from this design. Canada will even sell this to other countries but no one seems every interested which makes me think they do not simply want nuclear power as they want to enrich uranium as well.

[@saifullahrahman]

Nuclear is the future

[@icyfootball5754]

Building a nuclear reactor during a war. What could go wrong...

[@_aurangzeb_]

Huge problem when an Islamic country (or so called Islamic country) gets hold of nuclear power/weapon. Not so much if say Kenya gets it

[@socrates_the_great6209]

Tempco also was behind the nuclear reactor in Japan that exploded. Great pick!

[@mattdollars7257]

Lol yo SISI picture looks like he look out the window at Syria and just see people leaving Egypt

[@Ealdorman_of_Mercia]

0:00 Let's not...

[@timmyjones1921]

It was just a matter of time before it arrived in the Gulf , from time of the success The Manhattan Project .

[@vishwanathiari]

All nuclear weapons programs begin with peaceful purpose
