You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone. • • Listen on Google Assistant through Extra Audio: • https://assistant.google.com/services... • Other Wikipedia audio articles at: • https://www.youtube.com/results?searc... • Upload your own Wikipedia articles through: • https://github.com/nodef/wikipedia-tts • Speaking Rate: 0.888668557663398 • Voice name: en-US-Wavenet-F • • • I cannot teach anybody anything, I can only make them think. • Socrates • • • SUMMARY • ======= • The Light Water Reactor Sustainability Program is a U.S. government research and development program. It is directed by the United States Department of Energy and is aimed at performing research and compiling data necessary to qualify for licenses to extend the life of America's current 104 electricity generating nuclear power plants beyond 60 years of life. Practically all of the commercial electric-generating nuclear power plants currently in the United States are light water reactor (LWR) plants, meaning they use ordinary (light) water as a moderator and coolant simultaneously. • The basis for the project is founded on the facts that in the near future: • demand for electricity is projected to increase significantly • The U.S. has goals to significantly lower carbon dioxide emissions • During his presidential campaign, Barack Obama stated, Nuclear power represents more than 70% of our noncarbon generated electricity. It is unlikely that we can meet our aggressive climate goals if we eliminate nuclear power as an option. • The LWRS Program operates on the premise that electricity from nuclear generating stations, as a zero-carbon source, can and must play a critical role as part of an overall solution to both of these needs. The LWRS Program focuses on four main areas: Materials Aging and Degradation, Advanced Instrumentation, Information, and Control Systems Technologies, Advanced Light Water Reactor Nuclear Fuels, and finally, Risk-Informed Safety Margin Characterization.
