It looks like arms traders who discuss on which one or which are the most effective considering, American way, that these are justified for reasons of safety going from the simple grenade to the atomic bomb ... for the peace! of course!
But accidents such as Chernobyl and Fukushima are like heart alerts in an individual and that makes him believe that a pacemaker will allow him to continue in the path that caused these alerts and prevent him from death, while he acts as a reprieve until the next alert that will be the last.
Good Janic,
For information, relaying objective technical information does not necessarily mean being pro nuclear. To be transparent with you, I am an energy company in the broad sense. I worked successively in nuclear, refining and upstream petroleum and for 2 years I work to develop a solution for the production of hydrogen in a biological way. My journey is that of a technician who allows many people, including you, to continue to enjoy life without asking too many questions about where my oil, my gas or my electricity comes from !!!
As for SuperPhénix and the associated industrial risk, this is what I can tell you:
- Do you accept that there are cars more reliable than others? Do you feel safer in a lada or in a volvo? To think that nuclear power is nuclear and therefore that dangerousness is the same everywhere is a gross error. Japanese and Russian technologies are not the same as French.
- Do you also accept that there are drivers who are more careful than others? In the context of Chernobyl, it is almost industrial terrorism. Do you know that the accident occurred because the operator wanted to do lab work with an industrial tool? They bypassed 4 major safeties which led to the accident. In France such a situation is unthinkable as there are safeguards.
- Do you finally accept that there are more coercive and more competent gendarmes than others? Japanese safety authorities were surpassed by TEPCO. In France, IRSN has nothing to do with delaying an EPR project. Its job is to protect the population and I am the first delighted.
Otherwise, a more general remark, if you want to have the risk 0, you have to delete almost everything !!
- Chemistry, the Bhopal accident has a health consequence equivalent to Techernobyl. AZF is about thirty dead and 5000 injured;
- Oil, WHO announces between 40 and 50000 premature deaths per year in France + environmental impact;
- The internet which consumes as much energy as the air on a global level (30% of the internet is used for porn by the way ...);
- Wind power, of which we do not know how to recycle the pale;
- The PV that amounts to shaving mountains to extract rare metals ...
