Japan The unfortunate events remind us how vulnerable we are to nuclear developments, without denying some benefits with applications in fields such as power generation and health, also represent major risks for humanity.
come to my mind the Chernobyl accident (Ukraine, 1988), nuclear genocide in Hiroshima and Nagasaki (Japan, 1945) and the sinking of the submarine K-219 (1986), among others, whose moments can be summed up with words like anxiety, insecurity, pollution and death.
Considered by some as "the best clean energy exists, in my personal and professional opinion, a system that produces radioactive waste treatment and disposal difficult, and also may take several generations with negative effects on people and other living beings, can not be clean, in contrast, has a guilty conscience. Also, do not forget that a nuclear reactor has a lifetime between 30 and 40 years, and then becomes a very difficult waste management, you should expect about 100 years for radioactivity levels drop and can be dismantled.
With so much potential to produce electrical energy through the natural movement of air masses (wind), the sea (wave, tidal and underwater), and the well-known solar, really do not understand why some nations are determined to opt for nuclear energy, which could be cheaper in the short term, as some scholars have suggested, but whose environmental liabilities and costs in the medium and long term remediation, decontamination and containment, than any other energy production system in the medium and long term.
According to the Portuguese writer Jose Saramago, the memory we have and the responsibility we assume. No memory does not exist and no responsibility may not deserve to exist.
Whoever wants to forget the events in history with nuclear power, and decide to ignore the warnings of dozens of nongovernmental organizations in the world to their potential dangers, has or will have a debt to the present and future of a world that cries out and deserves a safe and balanced for all.
For now, exercising my right to speak ... Nuclear?, No thanks.
