Assume the average home requires an electrical power of 1.2kW,an average life expectancy of 75 years, and only power from nuclearenergy. For such a homeowner, what would be the lifetime generationof vitrified high level waste (HLW) in kg and liters (assumingreprocessing and recycling of U and Pu). the vitrified wastecontainers in France hold the HLW equivalent of 1.5 fuel recycledassemblies with an energy production of 1 TWh (1E+12 Wh). Comparethis to some common size object such as a soda can for ease ofconversation. Of course, this ignores other energyneeds/requirements for such a person. Explain. How might nuclearpower be used to meet these needs also?
