Those findings might surprise physicists, who will be aware that the energy density of nuclear fission is so high that just a fingertip of uranium has an energy equivalent of 5000 barrels of oil. Indeed, it is understandable why people might fear radiation given that you can’t see it – yet the same can be said of the air that we breathe.

The main source of power for some NASA Mars rovers comes from a multipanel solar array. But, in the last decade or so, most people had assumed that nuclear power would be a better option than solar energy for human missions, according to co-lead author Aaron Berliner, a bioengineering graduate student in the Arkin Laboratory at UC Berkeley.

That talk helped the [National Center for Atmospheric Research] scientists to see the big picture clearly and early on.” Where just a few years earlier, Malthusians had demanded limits on energy consumption by claiming fossil fuels were scarce; now they demanded limits by claiming the atmosphere was scarce.” Why else use it?

After thousands of nuclear weapons tests during the Cold War, we are fortunate to live in a world where every nuclear power except North Korea adheres to the norm opposing explosive nuclear tests. The incoming Trump administration will almost certainly try to change that, if it can.
