Lessons to learn from Fukushima
What
lessons could be learned from the events in Fukushima almost a year
ago? This is a good read, the key is that nuclear industry requires a
"clear, stable and long-term government policies", perhaps important
lessons here also for Canada too: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/matt-bennett/fukushima-nuclear_b_1234077.html
"Watching the coverage of the tsunami's impact on the Fukushima plant
was undeniably frightening, and some now have concluded that nuclear
energy is just too risky for use in the United States. We believe that
the opposite is true: that it is far too risky for the U.S. not to keep
nuclear energy as a significant part of our electric power mix.".... and
"To get the renaissance fully back on track, the nuclear industry must
have clear, stable and long-term government policies to tap the full
potential of nuclear energy. That means that as we think about nuclear
energy on the anniversary of Fukushima, we make sure that we are
thinking about risk accurately and fully. If we do, we think a consensus
can emerge behind a national energy policy that actively encourages the
use of nuclear energy to provide safe, emissions-free electricity that
helps drive economic growth."
