Do Japan's nuclear power plants pose a threat to the UK?


Recommended Posts

And I'm saying you are totally wrong.

 

Nothing is safe - if you are going to generate and control large amounts of power then you are going to have some risk.

 

Compared to other forms of generation, nuclear is safe.

 

indeed nothings safe, what ive been arguing tho is if it does go wrong boy does it go wrong, as we're seeing in japan, far wrong

so the whole worlds press is wrong and your right

 

Have you read the documentation? Would you like a link to it to check?

 

If they are saying a classification of level 5 requires deaths then they are wrong. Three Mile Island was classifed as level 5 - you can go check that - there were no deaths from it - you can check that - ergo the classification is wrong on that basis.

I'd agree that nuclear power is relatively safe. But why is it so safe?

 

Because it's inherently very hazardous.

 

It's safety comes from all the safety measures put in place.

 

So, take away all the safety measures from power generation methods - and then compare them:

 

Nuclear fission comes out pretty poorly. It is safe because of the measures put in place to make it so. You are relying on the efficacy of those measures to ensure safety.

 

TEPCO's track record shouldn't be filling people with confidence about those safety measures.

indeed its safe because it NEEDS to be, weve made sure it is.........but this natural disaster has shown it aint that safe in the big scheme of things and we need to work harder

The only person ignoring stuff at the moment is you. Have you read that document - would you like a link?

if you must, have all the worlds media missed this link? im sure they mustve seen it when researching their articles??
