Nuclear Safety

Do you think that it is safe to build NPP in our country? Around your residence area? Are you dare to face this?

Current technologies of NPP using depth in defend concept. It has about six layers to protect from radioactive. As you can see at the right hand side figure, it was designed to put nuclear reactor at high security levels.

As we looking at the Chernobyl disaster, one of the main reason why the accident occurred is because of the design of the reactor itself. It consists only two layers which are control rods and reactor vessel. Current technology is more safer to prevent from terrorists attack. Therefore, there are no points for citizen to worry about or even they live near to the NPP.

Mostly all NPP were built near to sea. The reason is the plant can use the sea water as a coolant. Do you think this NPP design is safe to the sea ecosystem? And to the fisherman? Some of the them claimed that by using this technology will affect their hauls. However, until now there is no proof about the statement. As we look the NPP in Japan, for example, their citizen enjoying their routine life without having any fear, even they are living nearby the NPP. To be remembered, the well known tragedies of Hiroshima and Nagasaki at the WW II, they are still can cope and believe that the past incident just misused of the nuclear technology.

Malaysian should take this kind of mentality. Why we are still thinking of negative feedback about the nuclear? Indeed, this technology doesn't harmful to the environment and lives.
