Interview of a Finnish activist taking part in shutting down construction of an EPR nuclear reactor in Flamanville, France. A similar reactor is being built in Finland with a totally unrealistic price and timetable, which has led to delays and hundreds of safety violations.

  • That's funny...

    I don't see her Ph.D in civil engineering anywhere.

  • a Ph.D in civil engineering wouldn't do much to qualify you to participate in an ethical discussion, does it?

  • no, but it would give her some credibility with people who can think objectively

    being an activist and an expert are two completely different things. the stories i could tell about berkeley and LBNL...

    long story short, these people have little to no background in science, and they tell people what they want to hear. they take the words of a fictional story to be the absolute scientific truth

  • The question w the safety violations is if its ok to allow construction to go on when requirements arent met and even the regulator say the number of violations is so large that some might slip through. The violations in e.g. welding have gone on for years now in Olkiluoto which shows our call for stricter measures was in place: the measures STUK has taken havent put an end to cutting corners. We also commissioned a report on the problems from a PhD with plenty of experience in nuke construction

  • How about you get a real job lady.

    An ethical discussion concerning civil engineering? Yes, it would. Sorry, I didn't mean to poke the embers of this one, but I just couldn't let that one go.

  • Every nuclear plant they stop is just another Coal plant to be built.

  • such ignorance makes me lose faith for human kind.

  • Its so funny watching greenpeace blockades. Especially when the founder of greenpeace is now a pro nuclear lobbist.

  • this is an ethical discussion. is it better to put nuclear science in the hands of political idealists or credentialed nuclear scientists?

  • aren't there people who have PhDs and experience in biology who believe in creationism?

    even if your ringer has a PhD in nuclear engineering it's not a matter of his opinion. it's a matter of the scientific community laughing at his opinion
