Fukushima and the day the earth stood still
    #18725530 - 08/19/13 12:03 AM (10 years, 5 months ago)

Are Fukushima and prior meltdown scenarios warnings to the human race? Does nuclear energy have a place in our future or is it a danger to it?

Must a warning be intended, or is it conceived in the mind that perceives it?

Nuclear power has a place in our future.  That is, in the future of those of us enjoying a seemingly limitless supply of electricity at the moment, but not living in an area at significant risk for a nuclear accident.  The accumulation of radioactive material will probably not affect us too much in our lifetimes.  Phew!

I think there are two issues to consider: the immediate risk of a catastrophic failure in a nuclear facility, and the long term effects of the accumulation of nuclear waste in the biosphere.

If the risk of catastrophic failure can be minimized and vigilance in maintenance and monitoring can be demonstrated such that the people in the area of generation facilities, properly informed, are willing to accept the situation, then maybe we can get by on the first point.  The problem with nuclear accidents though is that they tend to necessitate an exclusion zone due to the high concentration of radioactive contamination at the site.  Not so cool for future earth creatures.

On the second point, if the accumulation of radioactive material in in the biosphere can be managed such that the amounts produced by the nuclear fuel cycle and related accidents are somehow eliminated or offset, then sure, nuclear power has a place in our future.

It should be noted though that nuclear power generation is not the only source of radioactive waste in our environment, and that there is a significant amount of naturally occurring background radiation as well.

On the other hand, if we can improve our ability to compensate for the damage caused to our bodies by radiation, maybe we can just tell the future to :dealwithit:

My best response is "Where is Major Kong?..."
