Part 2/7:
During the tour, Freeston underscores the concept of energy density, which is the key feature that makes nuclear energy particularly compelling. Bruce Power operates eight reactors, processing roughly two tons of uranium each day. This seemingly small amount of uranium possesses the energy equivalent of one million barrels of oil. The spent fuel bay, which houses years' worth of nuclear fuel, illuminates just how efficient nuclear power can be. Remarkably, when broken down, the entire lifetime waste of an average North American using nuclear energy could fit inside a soda can.
