It has been about 1 year + we hear news about this game of cat and mouse between Iran and the rest of the world and world objection to Iran nuclear activities and all the negotiations that are taking place in this regard.
I really sometimes wonder about human being nature and his/her tendency to gain power. Sometimes this is considered to be a good nature. However, I personally do not think this is same as nuclear power.
I was just reading the following article in BBC. It makes me to wonder why so many Iranians feel that Iran should have nuclear enrichment program or nuclear capability to generate energy!
There are couples of real issues here, which we have not really dealt with them, yet.
One would be the fact that what do we wish to do with nuclear waste remaining from enrichment process?
Have we looked at our working force and their work consciousness? With lack of safety standard and ethical rules are we hoping to see another Chernobyl Nuclear Disaster. The other day I was thinking, as I have already written about it in previous articles in this weblog, in Iran we have dilemma with disposing paint or chemical paints! We do not even follow the Basel Protocol when it comes to disposing chemical materials, which are harmful to the environment. Having said that I wonder what do we wish to do with nuclear waste. Perhaps disposing them in either Caspian Sea or Persian Gulf!
Consequently, we will be exposed to nuclear radiation and as a result, generations will be handicapped. I am not sure is this what really we wish to have? Considering Iran has ability to produce energy from free and clean sources, such as sun and wind and thermo geologic sources. In Iran on average we receive more than 200 days per year sunny days. So, Sun would be a great resource to generate tax free, clean energy for us than nuclear power with so many headaches!
