Nuclear energy provides around 10 per cent of the world’s electricity demand with zero emissions power. #uranium #nuclear #untappedpotential @senbmckenzie
Great to meet with the @MineralsCouncil to discuss nuclear energy. The case for nuclear is clear: a golf ball sized amount of uranium contains a lifetime amount of energy for one person! #nuclear #uranium #SMRs #technologyneutral

'Not many of us realise that we all ingest around 2 microgrammes of Uranium every day ... Man-made fears of radiation, rather than actual radiation, are responsible for many misconceptions' says Prof Geraldine Thomas
europeanscientist.com
Man-made fears of radiation, rather than actual radiation, are responsible for many misconceptions, a fact that indicates the narrative around radiation needs to change entirely.
