Nuclear Revival.

Here I report some information taken from this site indicate that the pros and cons of these plants.

ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF NUCLEAR

nuclear power is often presented as an evil to be fought or how miraculous potion to revive the national economy. We do not recognize ourselves in both views. The nuclear energy as an option the other with its "pro" and its cons. We will try to list the main advantages and disadvantages. Nuclear power has undoubted advantages:

A nuclear power plant does not emit CO2.

Nuclear power plants do not produce carbon dioxide and oxides of nitrogen and sulfur, the main causes of ozone depletion and the greenhouse effect.

advantage in the balance of payments. The production of energy from nuclear power reduces the import of oil and the dependence of economies on oil. The coverage of the domestic energy needs through nuclear power reduces the possibility of external shocks on the economy and allows governments to reducing the burden of cost on the balance of payments with foreign countries. All this translates into greater stability of the national economy ..

greater political stability.

The main oil reserves are concentrated in a few countries with high political instability (Middle East) which could be transmitted even in countries heavily dependent on imported oil. The use of nuclear energy reduces dependence on Middle Eastern oil by the West.

Let us now brings disadvantages such as the use of nuclear energy :

Consequences in case of accident.

History has already shown the serious consequences of accidents at nuclear power plants. The radiation to which the population is exposed causing an increased risk of death from leukemia and cancer. By Chernobyl nuclear power plant safety has become one of the main critics of nuclear energy for civilian use. In recent years, technological progress has greatly improved the safety of nuclear reactors equipped with the latest technology.

Nuclear waste

Unfortunately, nuclear waste is another critical aspect of nuclear power. Can not be destroyed and the only solution for now, seems to be storage for thousands of years in geological or engineering. The search for a safe-deposit is one of the main objectives of the EU and the U.S.. It takes years of studies and major investment in detection of storage solutions for hundreds of thousands of years.

nuclear localization and local protests

The process of locating a nuclear plant or waste repository is very difficult. No local community agrees to sacrifice his own territory to host the nuclear waste. Sardinia, Puglia, Basilicata is the recent Italian cases of strong anti-nuclear protests (2003). That same year, a local Chinese community successfully opposed the government decision to build a geological disposal of waste by implementing a bitter and prolonged protest. In both cases, they won the local population.

Terrorism

We live in an age when few people can do great damage to humanity. The memory of the tragedy of 11 September 2001 to the skyscrapers of the World Trade Center was a severe shock for the whole Western society. The risk that nuclear power plants are used as targets for acts of terrorism or dirty bombs is very realistic. E 'lawful and rational concern. New nuclear plants will have to include this aspect right from the planning stage.

The transport of nuclear material

The transport of radioactive and nuclear material is one of the most critical aspects of "security" issue. During transport, as well as the opposition of the people who will go with radioactive cargo ships or trains near their homes, there is a risk of accidents and terrorist attacks. In France, special trains carrying nuclear waste under the cover of "tanks" and mounted policemen. The route of the train is constantly changing knowledge of people living near railways. For these reasons, waste repositories should reside near nuclear plants thus avoiding the need for transport of waste. The technological and scientific research has not yet found a way to destroy the waste within the same nuclear power plants. We are still waiting for answers to that effect .
Now I'd like to know the position of those who voted for him, my dear beloved Sardis that thanks to their votes have made it that our dictator decides for us, a quick way to ruin our beloved Island. Dear voters, who have voted, you and your children deserve the solution to your health, but my children and me, and like me many others mourn with you the consequences of this stupid decision .
