I think that society should rethink its use of nuclear energy. Clearly it is not a clean form of energy. I wish that we had better alternatives. I don't want to have to worry about getting radiation sickness or cancer. I think we should have learned our lesson from Chernobyl. We can't afford to be having nuclear exclusion zones all over the planet.
I do think that lessons can and should be learned from Japan's problems, though, so that more efforts can be made to research and upgrade the older levels of technology to make things better, and make all of our power plants as safe, efficient, and clean as humanly possible.
Japan is on the brink of nuclear catastrophe and tragedy! Let this be a lesson to the citizens of the world! NO FISSION NUKES!!! Doing the same thing over and over while expecting a different outcome is a form of insanity!!!
nucular power is to unsafe nucular waste unsafe go solar wind andalge and evengarbage there are other altenatives and the us cantake lessons from the japanese behavior look at how the folks acted in catrina
Yes nuclear power should be used as a source of energy if the US is to achieve energy independence and energy costs are to remain reasonable for consumers. Although solar and wind should also be used, no one should be disillusioned that these sources can produce enough energy to replace coal, gas and nuclear facilities. Since we all take risks in our everyday life it should be recognized that Nuclear has a far superior safety record in terms of casulties than airline and automobile travel. So the benefits of nuclear far outweigh the risk.The Nuclear industry in the US will most certainly review the lessons learned in Japan for possible application to US reactors.
No. Nuclear power is inherently dangerous, as is being amply demonstrated in Japan. Thus it can never be \"safe,\" only more or less dangerous. It's total fuel cycle, also, is not carbon free, and plants should be judged not just on their immediate carbon emissions but on their total fuel cycle. In the US, nuclear power can be replaced by a combination of increased energy efficiency (e.g., most buildings waste 25-30% of their energy), increased use of renewables and the use of natural gas as a transition fuel (provided natural gas drillers no longer be exempted from complying with the Clean Air & Clean Water Acts) - see Carbon Free/Nuclear Free by Dr. Arjun Makhajani at ieer.org and other studies by renewables experts. Nuclear power should have to stand on their own 2 feet & not be subsidized by the US government. Finally, there still is no solution to the problem of safe nuclear waste disposal/storage, which will be deadly for hundreds of thousands of years - as long as our species has been wandering this earth. The lesson that should be learned from this isn't technical, it's the big picture. It's time to wean ourselves off this deadly distraction.
Absolutely YES! What happened is because of a natural disaster! Should we stop flying and building planes because there is an aviation accident Should we stop driving because there is an ice storm that causes vehicle accident Why dont we take this as a lesson to expand and develop safer nuclear energy policy and continue to develop nuclear power in order to reduce our dependency on oil.
Oh my, in light of what is happening right now. And the past previous disasters with nuclear power. I would have to say a loud no. It needs to be made a whole lot safer.Not meaning to minimize at all the disaster in Japan but with their countries history of earthquakes and tsunami's was the place they chose the best possible place they could have put it I think that is one lesson that definitely needs to be applied to any country building up new nuclear plants.
Nuclear power is still needed as a source of energy but the big lesson we should have learned from this is that there are no safe proof plans to control nuclear power! So rather then advance in nuclear power, our main focus should be the advances of more environmental and safe power generating sources like using solar, wind and hydro. In the end no matter how safe we make nuclear power, were still playing with fire here and there is always a chance that we get burned again. What do we do then
YES, we have no choice right now given our current energy technology. Until scientists develop new technology, solar, wind, or whatever comes next, we have nothing that even comes close to meeting our ever growing energy needs. Each disaster teaches us lessons and helps us improve to prevent future disasters.
Nuclear No. Why There is one aspect of nuclear energy I have never heard discussed: like oil, coal, and natural gas, nuclear is a non-renewable resource. The nuclear proponents would have the world make another expensive, long term, and very dangerous investment in something that is in the end just another doomed strategy. Doomed. Non-renewable. Is the human race so collectively stupid that we can apply none of the lessons the great oil debacle should have taught us
I'd rather have the potential nuclear meltdown in my backyard then sending someone else's children to some Muslim countries to fight for fossil fuel any day. When you evaluate the cost of lives & dollars spent in wars versus nuclear power plants what costs more If Americans like laptops, TVs and SUV then we must be responsible and provide our own resources. Nuclear technology provides energy, jobs and higher education that we desperately need for the future. Let what happened in Japan be a lesson learned of what not to do instead of lack of knowledge fear.
Absolutely, the US nuclear industry designs and plans for the hazards, both natural and manmade. The issues in Japan are reasons to take pause and assess our plants and embrace the lessons and knowledge learned from this tragedy. The one lesson the stands as a stark reminder is to never ever challenge mother nature. The site where the Fukushima plant is built, is one of the highest and riskiest seismic zones in the world and one of the worst known for tsunamis. Although, we do not know with certainty at this early stage what the failure modes were or what caused them, we do believe the main modes of failure were caused by the tsunami not the siesmic event. It is believed the tsunami knocked out the main source of power and, the emergency backup sources of power, multiple emergency diesel generators. If the plant had been designed and built for a worst case scenario, as we do in the United Stated, all the reactors and spent fuel pools would be secued at this point and being prepped to restart and supply the much needed power the Japanese people need at this time. The fact of the matter is, the plant was built essentially at sea level in a zone known for potentially giant tsunamis. How irresponsible is that Especially following the Indonesian tsunami, one would have thought Tokyo Electric would have rethought the placement of this plant relative to the dangers. Was the almighty dollar the trump card Just like in the financial crisis we cannot let money drive critical decision making. This is a slendid example of what can happen when corporations are recklessly left to their own vices without regulatory oversite. We in the United States design and plan for these scenarios and United States Nuclear Reguatory Commission does a great job enforcing this philosophy and challenging licensees to do better and over-design for postulated accidents. Ours is a very robust system. 59ce067264
