Rocking nuclear industry in Finland

http://weblog.greenpeace.org/makingwaves/
Greenpeace activists in Finland spent the night 80 meters in the air on a crane at a nuclear power plant under construction in Olkiluoto. The protest is a direct reaction to the quality problems at the construction site, which has lead to over one thousand reported breaches of safety standards.

Boy... wouldn't it be better if we used coal instead?

Oh wait... yes we will switch to wind. Forget the fact that wind power is not stable and that you'd need thousands of turbines to replace a single nuke plant.

Greenpeace never cared about science or the climate. They're attention-seeking scumbags and nothing more.

I care about our environment and I'd like to see solutions start to be implemented that actually make a difference. Thus, I HATE Greenpeace.

"Beautiful?! How beautiful would it look after an accidental release of radiation which gave you and generations to come cancer?"

Back here in reality land, the 55 direct deaths and 4 000 indirect deaths that may occur from chernobyl(UNSCEAR) is equal to the deaths from coal power particulates every 7 weeks in the US(EPA, 30 000 per year).

Not to mention the fact that Chernobyl had no containment dome and was deliberately operated in an unsafe fashion.

Sad, that still so many people are naive and support nuclear power.

Greenpeace is reactionary and do not  think about the statements they make. They setting the future of clean and green society back

If the world was run by anti-science ppl like you we would be living in the stone age with a human lifespan of only 30 years of age

[Psykoosi86]

Fucking idiots..i hate you fucking ignorant hypocrite assholes...you are really fucked up people. The main reason for your problems are that this planet is overpopulated, go ahead and do something about it, you could start with yourselves.

We will fist fuck this whole fucknig world in order to have comfort.

@isokessu "greens" often pride themself on supposedly self-less long-term thinking and sustainability.

Well, if that's truly the case, the best thing you can possibly do to reduce the level of background radioactivity on Earth, averaged from now and until the Earth is no longer able to sustain life, is to fission as much of the uranium and thorium as you possibly find.

[soylentgreenb]

@isokessu The rest of the "waste" is fission products and neutron activated materials. Even if you treat it as waste and vitrify and dispose of it it will be less radiotoxic than the uranium you dug up out of the ground in just a few hundred years.

If you're smart you'll grab the fission platinoids and use them in industry. Recover any radioactive isotopes you can use in industry and space exploration(e.g. Sr-90 for betavoltaic cells, thickness gauges).

@isokessu "Btw if worlds every human would get electricity from nuclear power plants, then there would be so much more the waste than there is now."

Used nuclear fuel is not a waste, it's a resource.

The long-lived "waste" is transuranic actinides(TRUs), which is just another name for fuel.
