Nuclear Energy is NOT safe
S.A.L.T.
My stance on CND has not changed since my teens, no matter whether the Consevative Party, ot the Labour Party are in power, I am ardently anti-nuclear.
Since the 60s, yes that far back, there is a list of incidents, not all publicised of nuclear accidents. No ammont of theory will convince me, an element with a half-life that goes into thousands of years is safe.
A half-life is the ammount of time it takes for half of the element to be deemed "safe," what about the other half?
The big ones such as Three Mile Island, Windscale, and Chernobyl are highlighted in our memories.
In the 60's there was almost a nuclear accident at RAF Leakenheath, when a USAAF bomber carrying bombs hit a shelter containing nuclear bombs, fortunately, the bombs were unnarmed at the time.
There have been numerous incidents, which being minor didn't get reported, or in the case of Russia got silenced. In the mid-80s, I picked up a report from Kyev of an incident involving two trains carrying nuclear waste.
You may ask, why I omitted the Fukushima nuclear accident?
The reason is I am not sure it was an accident, the war between China and Japan still goes on, as do the wars with India and Pakistan.
You could call me a conpiracy monger, but wait?
Japan's economy is based on the sea, what better way to cripple an old enemy than to starve them, recall the Atlantic convoys of WW2, when Germany almost starved the UK into submission.
It is weird that not long before this incident COVID was released, at a time when Japan was geared for the Olympics, now do you think I am a conspiracymonger?
