Description
Reduces the CO2 emissions of Nuclear Power Plants and uranium-powered units significantly (by a factor of 4). One unit of uranium now produces only 25% as much CO2 as before: 12g / kWh. As Firaxis used numbers as reported by the IPCC in 2014 (median values) for the for the emissions of Coal and Oil, this mod aligns the emissions of nuclear power sources with the numbers from that report.

A building powered by a Nuclear Power Plant will be responsible for about 68 times less CO2 than when powered by a Coal Power Plant, and about 41 times less CO2 than when powered by an Oil Power Plant.

A unit requiring Uranium will emit about 17 times less CO2 than a unit requiring Coal, and about 10 times less CO2 than a unit requiring Oil.

This mod is a standalone component of the "Climate Balance" mod collection and requires Gathering Storm (link to collection above).

@AGRICOLAE ad tormenta Fukushima's evacuation area is kinda overkill though.

Now THIS is a nice change. The whole damn appeal of nuclear energy is that it doesn't pollute the environment to anywhere even close to the extent that coal & oil do while providing substantially more power on top of it.

@Knollebert Möhremann , check out Zee's More Reliable Reactors , it should give you what you're looking for with regards to nuclear power plants.

Is it also possible to reduce the risks of nuclear accidents? They are a product of fear of this very magic energy source. Only two accidents (Fukushima and Chernobyl) Caused uninhabitability of the surrounding. I am constantly doing work on the plant to stop radioaktive steam coming from the Reaktor?? Instead selecting dumps for the waste would be appropriate.

Nuclear energy is literally a real life infinite energy glitch, I'm happy that there is a mod that rectifies the game's odd choice to better represent this.
OmniWashed 26 Aug, 2023 @ 12:57pm 
The fact that nuclear energy has any CO2 emissions in this game is a really dumb decision on the devs part. Especially considering that nuclear power plants in real life only produce minimal CO2 emissions from their diesel generators which are usually kept on standby to power water pumps or other critical components to ensure safety of the power plant in the event of any system failure.

Nuclear is the way. Vanilla scorns nuclear which is really stupid. Thank you for this mod! I hope you continue.

Not possible to coment on your Collection as you asked us to do so, so I'll ask it here.
I only found one outdated mod for that, so if you have time or if you can/want, could you give an option or make a separate mod to remove the maintenance project and need for this kind of powerplants ?

I find it ridiculous and totally politically biased and oriented that Nuclear powerplant would be this unstable/unsafe and have a separate mode of maintenance where in every Civ, no matter the kind of maintenance needed it used to be expressed gameplay-wise by a gold maintenace cost. But here, for that case in, particular, specifically not.

And asking for more useless micro just discouraging you using this kind of power.

IronFangWill :

About transportation:
A nuclear power plant with 2 GW electrical power needs about 45 metric ton (or with proper SI unit: 45 megagram) of fuel (uranium-dioxide) per year. Transporting 1 ton of UO2 emits just as much CO2 as transporting 1 ton of beer would emit.

About mining:
In most cases, it is not even mined. It is leached via in-situ-leaching (underground) or heap-leaching the tailing dumps of other ore mines (mostly cooper mines or silver mines). The energy intensity is very small.
The other significant source of uranium is the phosphate-fertilizer industry. (Uranium is its byproduct)

(Sorry for bad grammar/spelling...)

I just assumed the CO2 was not the uranium itself, but incidentals like transporting it and mining it.
