Explore a comprehensive conference talk on nuclear energy, focusing on resources, geological hazards, and waste management. Delve into uranium supply fundamentals, accessibility challenges, and long-term potential sources, including unconventional methods like extraction from seawater. Examine the importance of appropriate data collection and field investigations for meeting regulatory requirements. Gain insights into risk-informed guidance, probabilistic seismic hazard assessment, and the critical role of earth science data in nuclear energy development. Investigate the geological aspects of isolation, containment, natural and human disturbances, as well as construction and operational factors in nuclear energy facilities. Learn from expert presenters from the U.S. Geological Survey, Bechtel Corporation, and the University of Wisconsin-Madison in this 32-minute briefing organized by leading scientific organizations.
