The document discusses the risks of nuclear energy at each stage from mining to waste disposal. It notes that radiation levels increase significantly at each stage and waste has no solution. Areas around nuclear facilities become contaminated and waste remains toxic for thousands of years. Nuclear accidents can make vast areas uninhabitable for decades and impact vegetation, animals, and human health through increased cancer rates and birth defects. Alternative energy sources like efficiency improvements and renewables are presented as safer and less costly options that could meet India's energy needs without the risks of nuclear power.
This document discusses the pros and cons of nuclear power. It begins with an overview of the origins of nuclear power from the first controlled chain reaction in 1942. It then discusses the nuclear power cycle and how it functions similarly to fossil fuel power plants. The pros discussed are the economic benefits in terms of low costs, environmental benefits of low emissions, and high portability and productivity. The cons discussed are issues of long-term waste storage, risks of accidents, national security challenges, and risks of nuclear programs being converted to weapons programs.
This document discusses nuclear power and the challenges of preventing nuclear terrorism. It provides an overview of nuclear power, including how it works and its uses for electricity generation and medicine. While nuclear power has benefits like being renewable and producing large amounts of energy, it also has risks like radioactive waste and potential for nuclear weapons proliferation or terrorism if nuclear materials fall into the wrong hands. The document examines both pros and cons of nuclear power and outlines future plans to address challenges to ensure nuclear energy is safe and securely managed.
Advantages and disadvantages of nuclear power Sajjadul Ponni
This presentation discusses the advantages and disadvantages of nuclear power. The key advantages are that nuclear energy is a clean source of energy that produces low carbon emissions. It also produces high quantities of energy from small amounts of fuel. However, the disadvantages include the risks of nuclear weapons proliferation, radioactive waste storage challenges, high capital costs, and risks of accidents and disasters like Chernobyl or Three Mile Island that can impact surrounding populations and environments. While nuclear provides a large clean energy source, effectively managing its risks and waste remains an ongoing challenge.

Friends,
Silver Jubilees call for celebrations. Today (26th April, 2011)
let us celebrate (?) the Silver Jubilee of Chernobyl
It is said that public memory is short and short indeed it is ! How many of us remember that today mankind has completed 25 years of disaster at Chernobyl power plant in Russia which claimed thousands of lives immediately and pushed lakhs of lives including the unborn ones at that time into endless misery. Do we consciously remember that more than one lakh sq. km. of land has been permanently rendered uninhabitable. Calculate the cost of this land in terms of land cost in Mumbai or Singapore or New York or Shanghai. Calculate the income and economic prosperity this land could have generated. Any way we have almost forgotten Chernobyl.
But nature has its own strange way of reminding us, if we have not learnt our lessons. It reminded us in the form of the nuclear disaster at Fukushima in Japan. Nothing short of a holocaust has struck mankind once again. Are we prepared to learn or re-learn the lesson? It does not seem so. We, particularly in India, are determined with a vengeance not to learn what nature want us to learn. Not satisfied with sitting on the volcanoes of disaster in the form of 6 existing nuclear power plants in the country we are planning 13 more, and thus adding twice the risk probability than what we already have. And what will this frenzy lead us to in terms of increasing our power availability ? Only 10% of what we are going to need? At what potential cost (not the monetary cost of setting up of nuclear power plants, but the cost in case of a disaster).
As if the Government is very much concerned about this nuclear damage, it has enacted the Civil Liability for Nuclear Damage Bill, 2010. It is nothing short of a farce. Can there by a monetary compensation for a life lost or generations doomed to misery? Even if some damage is paid, who pays the damage? – the Government. And from where the Government gets the money to pay the compensation or damage – from the taxes paid by you and me. Hence, is there any real compensation? The drama of compensation in connection with the Bhopal gas leak tragedy is before our eyes for the past 25 years. This very government has helped the culprits flee from India and the compensation proceedings have added insult to the injury for lakhs of victims. The nuclear liability is another version of the same farce.
More than the need of the common man, electricity has become a tool of exploitation used by industry to fatten their purse. Electricity itself is a dangerous element and all the means of its generation are manifold dangerous. The crowning danger is atomic energy. We need to abandon it and look for other sources of energy. There is a talk of solar and wind energy. However, India has another unique source of energy and that is energy from its cattle. More about this energy in some future dispatch.
In the meantime, have a look at the attached slides. If they stir your conscience, be a part of people’s campaign against nuclear power projects.

El Puerto de Algeciras continúa un año más como el más eficiente del continente europeo y vuelve a situarse en el “top ten” mundial, según el informe The Container Port Performance Index 2023 (CPPI), elaborado por el Banco Mundial y la consultora S&P Global.
El informe CPPI utiliza dos enfoques metodológicos diferentes para calcular la clasificación del índice: uno administrativo o técnico y otro estadístico, basado en análisis factorial (FA). Según los autores, esta dualidad pretende asegurar una clasificación que refleje con precisión el rendimiento real del puerto, a la vez que sea estadísticamente sólida. En esta edición del informe CPPI 2023, se han empleado los mismos enfoques metodológicos y se ha aplicado un método de agregación de clasificaciones para combinar los resultados de ambos enfoques y obtener una clasificación agregada.

4. Radioactive Waste
• Generated at each stage - Mining, Enrichment, Power Generation
– Waste from Enrichment has been used in Depleted Uranium (DU)
bombs used in Iraq
• Even 21st century science has NO ANSWER for Nuclear Waste
Disposal
– Waste contaminates (beyond scope for inhabitation) a huge area in its
vicinity for 1000’s of years
What about the
Is it Safe?
Environment &
People?
home
5. Radiation Contaminates Always
• Even if there is NO NUCLEAR ACCIDENT
– Around a Uranium Mine
– Around an Enrichment Facility
– Around a Nuclear Plant
– Around Nuclear Waste
An area of 30-35 km radius gets
contaminated by nuclear radiation regularly!
home
6. Radiation Spares Nothing
• Impacts Vegetation - Agriculture
– Trees near Jaduguda Uranium Mines have DEFORMED SEEDS
– Agricultural produce is bound to carry unacceptable amounts of
radioactive content
• Impacts Animals
– Radioactive Boars on the rise in Germany (thanks to Chernobyl)
• Impacts Human Beings
home
7. Nuclear Accidents Are Worse!
• Chernobyl : An area of 1,00,000 sq km is UNINHABITABLE for
20,000 years. FOREVER.
Date: 26 April 1986
Plant Capacity: 900 MW
8. Nuclear ‘Meltdown’ in the USA
• Three Mile Island, Pennsylvania: Happened in 1979 due to the
meltdown of fuel rods
• Health effects mostly unstudied or kept clandestine
home
9. Impact of Nuclear Radiation
on Humans
• Cancer in the next 2 to 60 years
• Deformed babies - FOREVER!
The pictures that follow may be disturbing
Jump to Existing Nuclear Plants in India only if you are extremely week-hearted
home
10. 40 Years Old Uranium Mines
in Jaduguda, Jharkhand
home
26. Impact of Nuclear Accidents in India
Can you imagine the massive loss of
Human Lives, Forests, Agriculture,
Animals, Economic Activities?
For 1000’s of years!
Existing Plants
Proposed Plants
home
27. OK, If Not Nuclear Then What?
Feeding Electricity to the Super Power
in making…
home
28. Improving Existing Energy Efficiency
• India can save 30-40% of its electricity deficit by simple
Conservation techniques
– Improving the efficiency of existing power plants (we are way behind
international standards at the moment)
– Decentralizing electricity generation to reduce long distance
transmission losses
The cost of implementing these Efficiency Improvement
Measures is MUCH LESS THAN that of setting up New Plants
home
29. Conserving Electricity
• We can save 30% increased demand of electricity by 2013 by
using energy efficient electrical infrastructure at home
– Fans, Incandescent Bulbs, Tube Lights
– Refrigerators, ACs, Air Coolers
– Electric Water Heaters
– Computers, TVs, DVD Players, Set-Top-Boxes (active mode)
home
30. Use Renewable Sources
• They are Cheap
Spend the millions & billions on
• They are Unlimited research of Renewable Energy
rather than on Nuclear
• They don’t Kill
• They are ‘un-researched’
America is the world’s largest
producer of Wind Power
Solar Energy has the potential to
feed Earth 1000 times
Solar Water Heaters in Bangalore save
900 MW of peak load. Already!
home
33. The Potential of Renewable Sources
• Latest studies indicate that Wind Energy & Solar Energy hold
the keys to sustained development!
home
34. The Politics of Nuclear Power in India
Ever heard of a lucrative
Wind or Solar Scientist post?
35. Why is Nuclear Power Promoted in India?
• Current energy policies are designed to benefit foreign MNCs
General Electrics Westinghouse Areva
Newspapers admit that THEY ARE HERE FOR A $40 BN BUSINESS
home
36. Why is Nuclear Power Promoted in India?
• Profit for MNCs who will provide reactor designs
• Commission for Indian Politicians, Intellectuals, Scientists
Investment at the
9,900 WM Jaitapur ` 10,00,00,00,00,00,000
Nuclear Plant One Lakh Crores only!
All Nuclear Plants in India offer
lucrative prospects
for these Patriots!
home
37. Why is Renewable Energy Unknown?
• Very less or No Scope for Investment (read profit)
• Giants MNCs in the Nuclear Power sector are too strong to let
the Renewable Energy sector grow
– And hence, almost No Solar or Wind Scientists
home
39. And Our Government’s Gift for US
• The Nuclear Civil Liabilities Bill by our government says that:
Any foreign company WILL NOT be held
liable for any nuclear accidents on Indian
soil, whatsoever
They WILL NOT pay any Compensation
We CAN NOT sue them in Indian or
Foreign courts
home
41. The ‘West’ is Disowning Nuclear Power
• Most Americans are against Nuclear Power
– Major concerns:
• Continuous radiation emitted in normal functioning of Nuclear Plants
• Nuclear Waste disposal
• Threats of nuclear accidents
• Australia has never built a Nuclear Power Plant!
home
42. Wondering What You Can Do About This?
• Understand the politics of promoting Nuclear Power in India
• Spread awareness about this massive public betrayal
Jago Re !
