But what if someone asks these questions: is it possible to break through multiple defense lines in a serious accident? Low-level mistakes made in previous nuclear accidents can be guaranteed not to be made in new nuclear power plants; Whether the off-site emission risk of a serious nuclear accident is zero, and then you can't guarantee that the nuclear leakage is zero, it is actually a misfire (as for the probability, you can also say that I don't want to be killed by a car or a meteorite).
There are two common reasons for foreign anti-nuclear, one is nuclear waste and the other is nuclear weapons.
The most common retort to nuclear waste disposal is that reprocessing reduces the volume of radioactive waste, and comprehensive technical knowledge needs some separation and evolution. However, in case someone asks such a question, it is enough: the high-level radioactive waste after radioactive reprocessing will still be preserved for tens of thousands of years, even if there is a huge amount of radioactivity to be managed in the separation and evolution strategy, can it be guaranteed to be safe? number
Nuclear weapons and their proliferation in many countries, such as Japan and Germany, are politically correct issues, but not in China. I won't discuss it.
In fact, it is a fact that if the nuclear industry cannot fulfill its responsibility for nuclear safety and nuclear waste, a large amount of artificial radioactivity will destroy the effectiveness of nuclear energy, an energy option with unlimited potential.
As the above nuclear power practitioners said, nuclear power is a stable and reliable power source with high energy density, no pollution of coal and fuel oil and pressure of logistics, no migration problem of hydropower (no accidents), and good resource capacity and technical potential. The disadvantage is that it produces a lot of artificial radioactivity and needs to be properly handled.
If you believe that the nuclear industry can do this, natural nuclear power is safe and clean; If you don't trust, natural nuclear power is not safe and clean. You can extend this distrust to other industrial systems, from the abuse of pesticides and fertilizers to the management of dangerous chemicals, from industrial pollution to information security, etc., and then please consciously adopt an environmentally friendly and green lifestyle-of course, this is really meaningless for environmental protection, and it is useless to prevent nuclear power from being built in your backyard.
