Deaths caused by Western nuclear power plants=0. Zippo. Zilch. Nada. None. Looks like a pretty good record for 30 years. OTOH, if one wants to bring up Chernobyl (deaths: 31) one might also want to consider that worst gas accident cost lives of 3350 (India, 1984) and second worst 650 (Soviet Union, 1989). Not to mention the effect it must have had on atmosphere - methane, after all, is 20 times worse a greenhouse gas than CO2, and gas leaks tend to get pretty lot of it to air.


You're not serious are you? What about the radiation? It didn't killed anyone, didn't it?

Finland has about the best nuclear storage facilities in the world, when we consider
the geological location. If we would have to build Nuclear power to somewhere, then
to the Finland.

It has been very hard to quantify the damage caused by the release of radioactive material into the atmosphere after Chernobyl, because, after all, it just increases the chances of contracting cancer, and doesn't cause a 'certain death'...but I wonder how much it increased the incidence of cancer and how many more deaths resulted. I am sure it can be estimated...

PH -- > I read somewhere about 5 000 - 15 000 more deaths.

After readed the rest of the Stefu's comments, I'll claim that most of them are pure bullshit.

It's interesting what Russia does, There have been heavy speculation about
the fact that Russian Nuclear Department (Or wtf it is in english anyway...)
could use this as an excuse to complete the new Nuclear Plant in karelia...
Hope not.

Well, proven deaths. And number of probable deaths because of radiation most likely isn't that big either - compared to amount of background radiation your average Finn gets in an year, even amount of radiation nuclear power plant worker gets isn't that big.

And if it's probably deaths were talking about, it's oil and coal that are the real killers. 200,000-400,000 Europeans estimated dead per year because of coal and oil plants and combustion engines.

Avatar Enlargement: We've got the solution

My two cents: Nuclear power is "clean" power and the best way to go until something cleaner is developed.

In the U.S., we recently had a power crisis in California in part because we actually shut down a major nuclear power plant. It would be good if the anti-nuclear activists here would change their tune so that we could build more clean nuclear power plants. But, don't hold your breath.

Well, there are already cleaner forms of power creation. The problem is that they're expensive and don't always work the way they are supposed to.

Blah,
You don't know what you are talking about.
First, it’s not about the store of waste, but about REFINING of waste (refining without use of bacteria as you believe )
Second, the refining of waste is the very profitable market. The Brits and French doing this since long time, we are only begin to entering this market.
Third you are able to refine your waste by yourselves. Your companies will never let us on your market.

hi ,

this day's news ;

Finland , Suomi , Helsinki ;

the green league gets out of the government because the parlement voted a yes on the plans to build a new reactor plant .
so that is the end of the rainbowcoalition , they seems to follow the advice of the minister of enviroment , Satu Hassi .

it also puts the prime minister , Lipponen in a hard spot , without the 11 seats from the "green" ones their is no rulling majority , ....

further more , the debate went on behind closed doors , as to wheter or not Finland should build and upgrade new and existing plants , .............

they also seem to lack the right people for the job , ......anyone intrested , ........

the social democrats dont want know about getting people from Russia , ..............if they can do so can we they say , ....

maybe they should come to apolyton , and learn a bit on communication skill's , ..........

the same for ideas and new jobs , ..........;

have a nice day

Actually, there still is a ruling majority.

Social Democrats: 52 MPs
National Coalition: 46 MPs
Left Alliance: 20 MPs
Swedish People's Party: 11 MPs

Together: 129 MPs out of 200

It's going to make it a bit more iffy to govern, but they'll manage.
