NUCLEAR POWER - NOT ONLY AN OPTION,
BUT A REAL NEED
• Nuclear pros and cons - are detailed in the paper.
• It is so important that the nuclear option has to be reexamined.
• The public perception of nuclear dangers did not
necessarily accord with reality. Fewer people had been killed
in nuclear power generation than in other forms of energy
productions, and that modern nuclear stations being
designed were inherently much safer than those involved in
the notorious accidents at Three Mile Island in the US in
1979 and Chernobyl in Ukraine in 1986.
• Furthermore if new nuclear power stations will be built, they
will be sited near existing nuclear sites, and it will be highly
unlikely that fresh “Greenfield” sites would be chosen.
