According to a report, Iran began mining and enriching uranium during the late nineteen eighties. Concentrated uranium is necessary for nuclear fuel. Reportedly, fission occurs when the nucleus of an atom splits or shatters, a chain reaction occurs and water is used to deaccelerate the process. Reported hazards are uranium depletion and spent fuel which is high level radio active waste. According to the report, the safe management and storage of spent nuclear fuel is a difficult problem for any country using nuclear power.

Reportedly, there are 129 commercial nuclear reactors in the u.s.

Reportedly, net zero relates to a reduction of emmisions as far as possible, and where alternative technologies aren’t available offsetting irreducible emmisions by fostering carbon sinks, that is anything that absorbs carbon such as trees and forests. Reportedly, the amount of carbon on earth has never changed, it flows from the soil to organisms to the air, being released and absorbed. Conclusion being carbon gases will be assimilated, not so any attached pollutants.

According to reports, global warming is caused by greenhouse gases emitting radiant energy with a wavelength of between 3 and 100 micrometres.
