-FINALIST of Post-Nuclear Power Plant Competition
Our important insight was that Fukushima is currently in an impossible recovery. The recovery of Fukushima from the devastating earthquake and nuclear disaster has proven to be a challenging task, with complete removal of radioactivity and nuclear power plant leaks taking at least 60 years. Currently, there are two pressing issues that need to be addressed – the abandoned nuclear materials and the space left unattended in the nuclear power plants.
To tackle these issues, we propose a new direction in the form of a unit module that can be utilized by any nuclear power plant, not just limited to Fukushima. The module generates energy from the thermal energy of the neglected nuclear material and acts as the heart of the system until the city recovers. After all the heat energy has been dissipated, the nuclear material can be rebuilt into a city.
We suggest deploying several interconnected modules to pioneer the land, each functioning as an independent space within the nuclear power plant. Our approach offers a sustainable solution to harness the energy from abandoned nuclear materials and paves the way for a more efficient, safer, and cleaner nuclear energy future.
