It sounds crazy but fukushima, chernobyl, and three mile island show why nuclear is safe | |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 53652834 United States 03/11/2019 12:08 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | That article sounded like a paid advertisement for the nuclear energy industry. Radiation is safe! Fukushima was no buggy. People have moved back. Colorado has more natural radiation than most places and they’re fine. I like how the article is so dumbed down for the reader. “Radiation” is .... No mention of Cesium 134, Cesium 137, and strontium 90. We were told in 2011 that the waste would spew for a 100 years, now they are telling us they are no big deal and barely readable. Which story makes more sense? The dangerous one or the one that sounds rosy because there is no cure? |

Hey, it's Forbes...we know they are reputable and verify everything before publishing it...you act like they are in bed with the wealthy or something...

And yeah, the Soviet Union always enjoyed massive credibility in telling the truth about domestic mishaps and accidents, sure sure./sarc |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 44534076 United States 03/11/2019 01:42 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | We need to know the deaths per kWH of electricity produced for the various forms of power generation. A nuclear plant produces about 4,015,000,000,000 kWH per year and a wind turbine about 6,000,000 kWH per year. If one person falls to their death while working on a wind turbine then you would have to have 670 people die from a nuclear reactor accident to be on an equal basis. People die. Might as well get the most bang for the buck. |

The equivalent applied to reactor output would be 4,015 people dead which never occurred so nuclear is much safer than wind power. |
