Just read Dr.Ps latest post about Israel and the Iranian issue - Someone has to address this glaring aspect - With the terrible and very dangerous disaster of Fukushima ("edashima" as i call it) - how can these people be arguing over the use of Nuclear energy? Oh la la - seems like there should be an international moratorium on using nuclear. I don't know how much you know about this issue - I would like to hear something about it from you, if you have any insights. There has been hardly anything on the main stream news - only RT has anything that i have seen on TV

Look at the topic I started on Buy more iodized salt! They base their decisions on nuclear power around risk estimates. So if there is a 99% percent chance a Tsunami will not hurt a reactor the risk is worth it. What if the 1% percent happens and the worlds water supply becomes poisoned? Well the point being if there is any risk on such things the risk is too great!

For sure any risk of such a devastating result is not worth it

One of the video links that CCJ posted on another thread, had a very good explanation of risk modeling and how it is not a reliable practice if there is insufficient data. A friend who uses this in the nuke industry has gone through the risk modeling many times with me in discussions. Now, since I know that you cannot appropriately use it if you have insufficient data, I have a better argument for him.
But you have to remember that the industry loves the risk modeling technique because it supports what they want to do to make a profit.
He just told me recently that "the nuclear power industry in the U.S. is done". I hope he is correct! We will have enough problems with the ones that are already operating...and in the event of an EMP, know this, 2-3 days in, the plants will be FUBAR!
The UN is in bed with the IAEA so international cooperation on getting rid of nuclear energy is unlikely.
Now, on another aspect of this, there ARE as I understand it, nuclear energy generating systems that work much better with FAR less risk. Why aren't we using them? MONEY.
