25 anniversary of the Chernobyl disaster
Chernobyl, Fukushima, ... Closing Nuclear Now
Nuclear power is incompatible with a model environmentally sustainable energy. It is not economically efficient and socially just is not. Neither safe nor clean, nor cheap.
In fact, nuclear power has proved an economic failure, technological, environmental and social development, causing serious problems for public health and the environment, nuclear accidents (as bad as Chernobyl and Fukushima), radioactive waste generation impossible to remove and distinctive contribution to the proliferation of nuclear weapons.
English antinuclear movement in solidarity with the Japanese people to the tragedy that is living and requires an urgent timetable for the closure of nuclear plants starting Garoña addition to the withdrawal of the current siting of the ATC, Temporary centralized storage, with opening of a truly democratic process of public participation.
Nuclear power is very dangerous. The Chernobyl tragedy demonstrates its ability to generate disaster. The radioactivity released into the disaster traveled thousands of miles, crossing all boundaries and costing tens of thousands of deaths, and left a trail of concerned whose number, 25 years later, continues to grow.
Fukushima's accident, despite the media pressure "lobby" nuclear, who tried to hide it from the start, is affecting tens of thousands of people. The evacuated territories remain empty for many years. Costs, and higher than those at Chernobyl, can not be borne by the utility operator and fall on the public purse. We are living a tragedy of enormous dimensions, which is not in order and in which each day brings more horrifying statistics.
Nuclear power is very dirty. Nuclear plants generate radioactive waste which remains dangerous tens of thousands of years and whose management, treatment and / or elimination are unresolved issues. The nuclear industry has not been able to find a safe and satisfactory technical solution to the serious problem of waste.
nuclear energy is very expensive. Strong need for continuous government subsidies to exist, do not pay the real cost of liability in case of accident, is an obstacle to renewable energy and increases the cost of electricity bills.
The vast majority of the English population rejects nuclear energy. The technical and economic feasibility of a power generation system based 100% renewable energy is a proven fact and generates 5 times more jobs than nuclear power per unit of energy produced.
IS THE TIME to abandon nuclear energy. It's only a matter of political will as there is no any technical problems, or economic power to prevent it. It is most desirable from the point of view of safety and environmental protection and health.
Without nuclear we have a world healthier, cleaner and safer.
