Public opinion on nuclear


Recently people has been exposed with negative impression about nuclear. It already started from the old days beginning with the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombing. Yes it is true the bombing is because of the misused of the nuclear technology itself. But then the opposite side of the face also has been followed by the negative impact. This has been keeping the people a distant from exploring the nuclear technology. 


The opposite side of the nuclear technology is by harnessing the nuclear power to generate electricity. Several incidents has been spread out through the world such as the Chernobyl disaster and the Fukushima effect. This kind of events had been giving the fear to the people on the nuclear technology and nuclear power. And this fear has saturated in the people’s mind nowadays. However not all of them are aware about the reality of these nuclear technology but still, the mostly unexposed people with the nuclear power technology are having the same thinking.


Aside from that, a different opinion from a different perspective has also been the norm of the most people. The cost of nuclear technology and nuclear power plant. Nuclear power plant is a one type of long term investment. And the long term do really means in a very long time. People have been arguing about the big cost of the nuclear power plant. What they don’t really see is the power produced that is several times larger than the conventional electricity generating power plant. Which is in this case a lot of cost can be reduced since a product of a several cycle of process could be obtain by only one process.


The government needs to expose the mostly unexposed people with the proper introduction about nuclear power technology. Also to give the real facts about nuclear power and the option of nuclear power plant as a part of renewable energy.
