Do you want nuclear power stations in the uk?

Question

what if chernobyl happens here ?

the russies didnt expect that and its a h**l of a bigger place as well

on a lighter note chernobyl fall out if you dont wear undies

Answer 1

Don't want any more until someone convinces me that we've got a better way of dealing with the waste.

Answer 2

oil, fossil fuels etc are beginning to run out so if you still want heating and electricity in your home, you are not going to have much choice.  I would rather a power station than going  back to no heating and no lighting in our houses!

Answer 3

It may not be the ideal option but it's the only one we have.  Unless people want to pay sky high prices to foreigners for our fuel needs, or unless you want to live in a country with no light and power (ignore the Greens who would like to take us back to the Middle Ages) then nuclear energy is our only option.

Answer 4

It will do until the idiots who bleat about wind farms desturbing birds shut up.

Answer 5

yes

chernobyl happened due to making the reaction too hot. you see inorder to increase heat to make more electricity you pull rods from the reactor. more than the safe amount were taken out which caused the explosion. the country was a communist country so people didnt question things as much. now people have learnt from that and there are great precautions in this form of power. there are now many nuclear power plants in the world. in fact most of frances electricity is from nuclear

Answer 6

I don't think we will have much choice and we have more chance of being knocked over and killed, than another Chernobyl. It's not always the obvious that put us in danger...

Answer 7

There are quite a few nuclear power stations in the UK already. The controls are very strict.

Answer 8

Yes.

The efficiency of Fission, and hopefully one day in the future fusion, is amazing. Dont get me wrong radiation and nuclear waste can be quite a scary concept.

The science used in nuclear power is amazing.

I dont know what else to say.

But saying all that, if someone wanted to build it near my house, I wouldnt be to pleased.
