Show SERGE GOLIAN #1 something you can't see, or feel. It's a scary thing in that sense. You see, whether or not, if you have to have power, you have to have a source of energy. This energy has got to come from either fossil fuels, nuclear energy, water power or something else. As a matter of fact it has been stated for example that there is more fission, or more radioactivity released into the air from the big coal power plant than there is from a nuclear plant which is well-controlled. There are many problems, one has to dispose of the waste. Now this is a problem in itself. Eventually, hopefully we will have fusion power, but still, at one time we thought we would have fission power, quite a while ago, but suddenly we-- CE: We don't. SG: We don't. CE: You were talking about radiation exposure and power plants, generators. SG: Well, what I was about to say, there is a possibility of some radiation exposure by the people working in there if they do things inadvertently. But with proper control, I think this is just as safe as--or I can say this, that one can get into a lot of trouble in an ordinary plant, in a fossil fuel plant from explosions. The radiation in a reactor is primarily 51 |
