Radiation a Safe Source of Energy? Just take a Look at Japan...

If on the 14th 15,000 people were protesting against nuclear power in Japan. Today three radiation stories has been released. The contaminated water from the reactor is still not fixed and will not in a near future. The water that was used to cool the reactor has been in contact with the radioactive debris that went out when the reactor blew. This water is still contaminating the water that just passes by to cool the reactor so soon enough it will be all out in the ocean and still continuing to contaminate fresh source of water.

There is also another fact that has been mention that surprisingly many farm lands near Fukushima are no more cultivable. The radioactive level is too high for human consumption. The half life of the radioactive element found is 30 years so it is going to take couple decades before it is eradicated and still more to come to be back to what it was before if this ever happens.

On the same idea but a couple years back, a bottle believe to have contained radium has been found close to a supermarket still releasing 170 microsieverts per hour. This bottle was probably used for medicine the source mentions. But this should raise a question in one’s mind. If hospitals cannot deal carefully with their own radioactive waste how a big power plant playing with tons of those wastes can handle them without risks? Why can we find bottle of radioactive waste near a supermarket? Those questions will stay unanswered but people should be really careful before accepting a Nuclear power plant in their region because even governments officials don’t know or respect the security code surrounding the waste.
