Description: http://weblog.greenpeace.org/makingwaves/ Greenpeace activists in Finland spent the night 80 meters in the air on a crane at a nuclear power plant under construction in Olkiluoto. The protest is a direct reaction to the quality problems at the construction site, which has lead to over one thousand reported breaches of safety standards.

pyork2007 ::: Favorites "High risk low probability" is an industry term known to policy experts who study and debate nuclear power, both for and against. Chernobyl's an example of accidents that can happen with aging nuclear plants. We will see more Chernobyls this century and next. There is no country on Earth that could not replace nuclear and coal with cleaner solar, wind, and cogeneration power coupled with conservation. Sounds as though you are part of the nuclear industry? 07-09-09 11:44:20 __________________________________________________
MokomaSusi ::: Favorites "Nuclear power is called "high risk, low probability" (HRLP) technology" Only if you are working in greenpeace. "such as Chernobyl" Chernobyl wasn't accident. So down goes this argument... "especially when safer forms of power (renewables) can do the job as easily for the same price or less. " Come live to Finland and try to use solar power in winter time...when there is only few hours sunlight every day. 07-09-09 09:57:00 __________________________________________________
MokomaSusi ::: Favorites "Chernobyl killed. Finish nuclear power could very well kill in the future" Aliens might invade world in future too. "here is no method for safely storing radioactive waste for the thousands of years that it takes for that material to become safe." Search "olkiluoto onkalo". "Future generations, as yet unborn, but nevertheless as real as you or me when they will be born, are at risk." No, they aren't. 07-09-09 09:52:57 __________________________________________________
pyork2007 ::: Favorites Nuclear power is called "high risk, low probability" (HRLP) technology because it even though the probability of a disaster (such as Chernobyl) is low, the risk to local populations is very high if it does happen. And that risk does not justify the existence of nuclear power, especially when safer forms of power (renewables) can do the job as easily for the same price or less. Nuclear power tends to be expensive and generate cost overruns, borne by the public through taxes. 07-09-09 00:28:14 __________________________________________________
pyork2007 ::: Favorites Chernobyl killed. Finish nuclear power could very well kill in the future, since there is no method for safely storing radioactive waste for the thousands of years that it takes for that material to become safe. Future generations, as yet unborn, but nevertheless as real as you or me when they will be born, are at risk. Ergo, nuclear power is morally wrong. 07-09-09 00:23:58 __________________________________________________

MokomaSusi ::: Favorites "Nuclear power kills people, it is morally wrong." No, it does not kill anyone. Finnish nuclear powerplants haven't killed anyone. "t is unsafe and it is unreliable." Unsafe? nope. Unreliable? you probably mean wind power. "The toxic waste is dumped on native reserves. " Not in here Finland. 07-09-08 18:00:17 __________________________________________________

stodles ::: Favorites I can't speak for your experience, but I do know that in the US fleet CANDU reactors have been able to run at about 88% capacity versus ~80% for LWR's. Maybe it's different in Canada? But that's not the point: the point is they don't have to enrich the uranium. 07-09-02 14:17:51 __________________________________________________
