China’s nuclear waste problem
BBC World have your say Donald 12 Oct 09 I am worried about China and nuclear power. If China builds all the nuclear power plants it says it is intending to, where and how is it going to deal with the waste?
Command economies with limitations on the press have a terrible record for dealing with radioactive waste (look at the Soviet block, and their shorter life-spans and high number of deaths from cancer).
I fear because of systemic corruption that it is only a matter of time till the Chinese nuclear waste gets spread through the oceans and the poorer equally corrupt countries of the world, eventually spreading to the west…
