Singapore delaying nuclear power indefinitely, as solar gets cheaper
you won’t see a nuclear power plant in or around Singapore for at least something in the order of 10 to 20 years or even longer than that…Another option being explored by Singapore is solar power, which has become more cost effective over the years.
Nuclear power plant in S’pore not likely for next 10-20 years expert – Channel NewsAsia, By Joanne Chan : 02 November 2010 , SINGAPORE : Singapore is unlikely to have a nuclear power plant for at least the next 10 to 20 years, said one advisor to the local energy sector.
On Monday, Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong said Singapore needs to diversify its energy sources and is studying the option of nuclear power.”We’re talking about a process here that’s decades, not years, if you think about how long it takes to develop these technologies, and ultimately deploy them. I think the watch will go on for probably another 5 or 10 years or longer, before one actually makes a decision,” said Peter Schwartz, chairman of Global Business Network…..

Renewable Energy Corporation has chosen Singapore to develop one of the world’s largest integrated solar manufacturing plants.
The S$2.6 billion facility will be officially opened by PM Lee on Wednesday. ..

Antarctica Nuclear Power Plant Cancer Disaster on Day 1 Says Navy Shipmen
Antarctica nuclear reactor caused many cancers. Several countries insisted the US to clean up the nuclear waste via treaty. 5 On Your Side Investigation in March 2011 revealed at least “438 malfunctions from 1964 through 1972.” Our report found “leaking water surrounding the reactor” as well as “hairline cracks in the reactor liner” and prompted two federal hearings that upheld our report’s findings. The plant was eventually shut down and dismantled in 1972, but in the decades that followed, repeated cancer claims for service-connected disability filed by veterans were routinely turned down or ignored by the Veterans Administration. “There is no question that the water was contaminated,” said Wilborn, who was granted a service-connected disability after a hearing before the Board of Veterans Appeals. The appeals board also found that Wilborn’ s exposure was “grossly underestimated” and “evidence strongly suggests that others may have been exposed to higher levels” as well.

McMurdo has attempted to improve environmental management and waste removal over the past decade in order to adhere to the Protocol on Environmental Protection to the Antarctic Treaty, which was signed October 4, 1991, and entered into force January 14, 1998. This agreement prevents development and provides for the protection of the Antarctic environment through five specific annexes on marine pollution, fauna, and flora, environmental impact assessments, waste management, and protected areas. It prohibits all activities relating to mineral resources except scientific. A new waste treatment facility was built at McMurdo in 2003, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McMurdo…

Yahoo for Singapore to postpone Nukes for Solar. Sounds like the 70’s when young people in America were promoting Solar and No Nukes. I went solar 2 months ago and love it everyday. See my videos and photos of my experience of going green with Solar at dansolar.wordpress.com.
