@JeanPhi00925459 There was only 10 years between fission and nuclear reactors so I'm hoping we'll get to see nuclear fusion happen on a commercial scale in the next decades! #Lesson8 #NuclearFuture

[SVacan1 @SVacan1]

I wonder why the rules were changed to demand 1,000,000 years of safety in a storage site for spent fuel. Who even knows where the world will be in 10 years, let alone 1,000,000 years?! #Lesson8 #NuclearFuture

[SVacan1 @SVacan1]

I didn't know this! Thanks for sharing! #Lesson8 #NuclearPower

Fun fact: 76% of Canada's uranium production was exported throughout the world for nuclear power use in 2018 #Lesson8

[SVacan1 @SVacan1]

Uranium ore found in the earth is mostly in the form of an oxide, or yellowcake #Lesson8

[SVacan1 @SVacan1]

@jasonro09151742 I also feel the same, but its frustrating to know that Chernobyl could have been prevented if the safety features had not been disabled #Lesson8 #NuclearAccidents

[SVacan1 @SVacan1]

That was my first thought too when I saw that #Lesson8 was about #NuclearPower 😂😂

[jason romeo @jasonro09151742]

I can't help but think of the Simpsons when I look at these🤣 #Lesson8 #phys273

[SVacan1 @SVacan1]

@fatimaphys273 I totally agree. Before #Lesson8, I always thought of anything associated with nuclear energy as dangerous but I now stand corrected (and informed!) #NuclearEnergy

[SVacan1 @SVacan1]

The amount of energy extracted from flowing water depends on the volume of the water, as well as its speed #Hydropower #Lesson7

[SVacan1 @SVacan1]

I couldn't agree more. #Lesson7 opened my eyes to the environmental impacts the come with generating #Hydropower

[Slaviana Iordanova @SlaviPhys273]

I personally like the idea of using water to generate electricity, but I cannot help but think that it has very important environmental impacts that should not be ignored. #Phys273 #Lesson7

[SVacan1 @SVacan1]

@NasrinAmiri4 I wonder if that number has gone up since then! #Lesson7

[SVacan1 @SVacan1]

@Ellie19763132 I had no idea Scotland had many windmills! It must've been such a nice view #Lesson7

[SVacan1 @SVacan1]

Quebec produces the most #Hydropower in Canada, followed by British Columbia and Ontario! #Lesson7

[SVacan1 @SVacan1]

@Sandy00827619 Canada should definitely develop more wind farms, especially in the areas discussed in #Lesson7, such as Southern Alberta and Southern Ontario!

[SVacan1 @SVacan1]

Small hydro represents about 4.6% of Canada's installed capacity #Hydropower #Lesson7

[SVacan1 @SVacan1]

LOL I agree!! #Lesson7 #WindPower

[Kenny Briard @KennyBriard1]

Open for a nice meme

[SVacan1 @SVacan1]

When thinking of #HydroPower, I always thought it was only generated by dams. But #Lesson7 taught me that there's another method called Run of the River as well!

[SVacan1 @SVacan1]

The Saphon Tower looks more like a speaker than a wind turbine! #Lesson7 #WindPower

[PHYS273-Gilbert Paquet @Phys273P]

I didn't know about all those different wind turbines types!

[SVacan1 @SVacan1]

@MartinGrover7 @Phys273P This really puts the size of a turbine into perspective; pretty cool to watch too! #Lesson7 #WindPower

[SVacan1 @SVacan1]

@AlessiaRandisi1 All I knew about #Hydrogen before #Lesson7 was that it was the first element on the periodic table, but now I learned something new!

[SVacan1 @SVacan1]

He'll achieve his dream in a few million years LOL #Phys273 #FossilFuel
