[Extra] The disadvantages of nuclear power

Opposition to nuclear power.

   First, the safety of nuclear waste that occurs naturally in the process of power generation in nuclear power plants are not guaranteed. Except that until the numerical levels of radioactivity controllable, and is isolated in a concrete wall, for no other methods, nuclear waste, if the plutonium -239, which is a kind of nuclear waste , half-life reaches 20,004 thousand years, but the life of the wall of concrete blocks, has passed in the blink of an eye. Also, how to handle nuclear waste, because there is a lot of discussion of safety still.

   Second, looking at the unit price of nuclear energy, its value is cheap, but it is that machete in so when considering the future of nuclear power plant. Given the cost of processing nuclear wastes in the nuclear power process and power plant period of 10 years or more, because you can not see production unit cost of nuclear energy is cheap. Accounts for 9-15% of construction costs in primary dismantling cost, in the case of the United States, sometimes it is estimated that 300 million $ 25 million average cost of dismantling one place per primary. And social conflict over the nuclear waste storage facility is difficult even if I rank in amount.

   Third, because, even though no choice but to cling to the nuclear plant-poor countries of energy resources, such as Japan and South Korea, the problem that will be mineralized resources is economy, depends on the specific country the import of energy Because I occur. This is, to understand it well if you look at the case of interruption of natural gas supply in Europe of Russia most countries of Europe and the oil crisis situation in the Middle East crude oil prices soaring, given the economic blow around the world were hit You. In this way, when it comes to imports of energy is dependent on a particular country, there is a possibility that monopoly in the energy supply occurs, you can also adjust voluntarily price.

   Fourth, with regard to nuclear power, there is a problem that could cause not only of price monopoly, monopoly of information also occurs. Because "that people know confusing" and, it is published late nuclear accident of the magnitude or is reduced, information on the safety of landfill site and a nuclear power plant, has been private. It is subject to the restrictions in media experts to emphasize the safety of nuclear power unilaterally by using a point structure that is a specialized area and the principle of the primary. I believe in a state in which the debate has not been made for nuclear power in the national dimension, causing a vicious cycle for nuclear power plant problem, planning unilateral policy makers and experts, and a violation of the right to know the people.

   I think the reason described above, it is necessary to reconsider the need for nuclear power.
