Nuclear Energy

The nuclear energy discussion


The civil nuclear energy has reach it highest production just after the oil crisis, but since several accidents such as Three Miles Island in 1979 and Tchernobyl in 1986, this development slowed down.

But this production isn’t starting again Nowaday?


Maybe we can suppose that:

  • The augmentation of oil price (150 $ the barrel in 2008)
  • The anticipation of oil shortage
  • The climate changement

Are reasons of this new tendancy

The governement has found 2 solutions; The renewable energy and the nuclear energy.
Unfortunatly, the first solution could have limits and we all that nuclear energy is not the miracle solution. Indeed it we can indentify different problems: for instance:

  • The irradiation worker, neighbour population.
  • Radioactif material
  • The nuclear wast management
  • The nuclear weapon proliferation

In a few years time, it would be necessary to create an international organisation able to control nuclear energy production with the intention of reducing climate problems at the moment.
