Nuclear Power? Nuclear Waste?

What's your opinion about Nuclear?

well from what I had studied so far, I actually don't even understand fully how it works. From what most text explains, its where fission reaction occurs where an atom is separate into two atoms and  creating heat in this process.

Well at this time, the heat will be used to generate electricity. However there are fuel used in it and there are three basic category of the nuclear waste. The Low Level Nuclear Waste, Intermediate Level Waste, High Level Waste. There are fuel included in the process of generating power in nuclear powerplants. The wastes that are used will be highly intoxicated with radioactive and this radioactive fuel are called Spent Fuel.

Malaysia is starting to implement disposal of nuclear waste or generating radioactivity substances which nobody actually know what they wanted to do.

The question is, WHERE WILL THE WASTE BE DUMP? is it an surface facility? Geological disposal facility? an underground facility? or just dump into a big pit?

Well there is no answer to any question from the public. There is only one thing in their mind. Get it done and get the money and profit. What about the safety of the public? what about the right of the public to know whats they are facing? What are the benefit of publics having radioactivity in their backyard?

In UK, Switzerland, Japan, and loads of places in the Europe are proposing or already starting constructing nuclear waste disposal pits and this had been done by long procedures and even consideration with the public and also professional analysis and researches before their construction starts. Public response are taken in consideration and safety issues are taken into consideration deeply before bringing in any decision.

Question is. Why there is no a vivid answer and any consideration of the public response, any public education before any decision are made?

Government... Stop digging your own grave and bringing more troubles into the country.
