However the principal requirement is to reduce the Carbon Intensity. Over the next few decades, we must drive the Carbon Intensity down near zero. There is one country that has done a good job, sweden. Sweden has decarbonized its electricity, which is provided by Nuclear Power and hydropower. They have one more big step to make, to make liquid fuels from electricity. Thats actually not difficult, but they are a small country and have not developed that industry.

My concerns centered around the buildup of hydrogen gas, which could cause a hydrogen explosion, the buildup of plu tone upat the bottom of the tanks which could cause a criticality and the plugging of pipelines which could render the plant inoperable for years. The issues i raised not only had Nuclear Safety implications, but coul
