Personally the mis-education of NZ'ers around nuclear power has been horrendous at best, and fearmongering at worst. Modern reactors, and technologies such as LFTR (Liquid Flouride Thorium Reactors developed in the 60s but mothballed due to the fact they cant develop weapons grade materials) are safer - and less radioactive - than your standard coal power plant like Huntly. Before you bring up Chernobyl (human error), three mile island (human error), Fukushima (end of life plant that exceeded design specs and failed due to inability to get emergency power back to reactor due to mismatched plugs) you should really do some research into modern nuclear power generation tech. Personally im all for no nuclear weapons in NZ (I dont think there should be any on the planet, but the genie has been released already), but modern nuclear power is perfectly fine as far as I'm concerned, and I would happily have a LFTR in my back yard. </span> |
