IF we had to factor in the clean up and compensation costs, none of us would want that lovely thing. Fukushima total generated power USD25billion total recovery cost 75billion (with very very lax accounting norms) and climbing.
Past accidents should be used to make future systems safer, not throw them out altogether.
Ah. So let a few million babies with birth defects be born due to some accident on existing reactors, then we will find out ways to make it safe. In the meantime we will continue with the halflife problem for 250 odd years.
Nice going.
On second thought it might actually be a good idea to have reactors all over the planet 50 km apart. You will be guaranteed a disaster in all of them (only that you would not know - state secrets, in every country ;-E. Indian reactors are totally safe lol). Which should cull our population to extinction and actually save the earth. Nature and life will do just fine without the parasites known as humans.
BTW, far more number of people die in road and rail accidents in India and around the world than nuclear reactors going bust.
Should we ban all road and rail travel? after all auto-mobiles and rail are also considered technology.
With regards,
