How many ordinary people understand the words in nuclear technology?
How easily are we ordinary mortals told that it’s all too complex for us to understand. We should trust “the nuclear experts”, – who, by the way, would be out of a job if this expensive way of boiling water (nuclear technology), were to be abandoned.
Re-using dirty, dangerous old radioactive stuff produces even more dangerous radioactive stuff, which terrorists would, of course, like to get their hands on.
AREVA and the rest of them can call it Recycling, Reprocessing, Fast Breeder, Integral Fast Reactor – any fancy term to confuse us, They’re still just trying to sell us still similar expensive ways to boil liquids
Safest would be to shut down the nuclear industry, clean up as best we can, and call it quits for this 70 year old failed energy experiment
