Some Considerations of Major Non-Nuclear Hazards
نویسنده
چکیده
Two comments can be made on this matter. First, it is likely that nuclear power is safe based on short-term issues; the imponderables that carry weight with the objectors are the uncertainties of major accidents, long-term wastes and proliferation. Current risk studies do not banish these fears. Secondly, if these studies aim to influence choice of energy mix for the future, they should extrapolate data to the period 2000/2050 and not use present comparisons. This will be illustrated later.
