Gentleman this is fire you are joking with. Wish you well with this ambition yet you are ignoring abundant green energy in which you are custodian of .
nuclear power is like aircrafts - it's the safest widely used energy source but just has a bad name coz when it goes wrong it kills many. but coal kills more!
Quote:Fewer than 50 people were reported to have died at Chernobyl; by contrast, the American Lung Association estimates that smoke from coal-fired power plants kills about 13,000 people every year,
Masukuma it's somehow safe for first world .though if you read this Web link here you will understand a state in usa is in trouble because of nuclear waste that they don't know what to do with it
leakage nuclear in usaHaving said that there was a tetenus vaccine going on and it was realised that it was contaminated with hcg hormones or something which is used to birth control.try to imagine your daughter having that vaccine AND HAVING GOVT OFFICIALS COVERING UP the test results!! So drives my question ,,what about nuclear wastes?? Do you think should catastrophe happen the kenyan govt will take measures and responsibilities to stop it from happening again or taking stringent measures ??
You can equate the effects to coal . Something funny is that Kenya is persuing both coal and nuclear. So that will be double death.why can't we exhaust all the green energy then we run to this exorbitant sources of energy?
Masukuma you need to travel man and do your research about nuclear energy in third world countries man.
Now that you mentioned Chernobyl I came across this article. "
The Chernobyl Nuclear disaster is widely considered to have been the worst power plant accident in history, and is one of only two classified as a level 7 event on the International Nuclear Event Scale (the other being the Fukushima, Daiichi disaster in 2011). The battle to contain the contamination and avert a greater catastrophe ultimately involved over 500,000 workers and cost an estimated 18 billion rubles.
The official Soviet casualty count of 31 deaths has been disputed and long-term effects such as cancers and deformities are still being accounted for."
Cancer is the word and statement "are still being accounted for"
That's a red flag right there. BTW Effects of chenorbyl will be felt for 20,000 yrs after the disaster happened .just fyi.what about a third world country where transparency is an isssue?? That's my worry and any kenyan with a common sense should worry about .but if you don't have common sense and have rare senses then celebrate .nimewachia hapo.
