Nuclear Power Plants: Are They Safe?

Since the release of atomic energy was shown terribly in the shape of the bombs unloaded in Hiroshima and Nagasaki in Japan, which led in hundreds of thousands of deaths and devastation, the awesome power of the atom has been feared.

The same power however has been proven to have beneficial use in other applications, more importantly in the production of electric power. However, the experience cited previously have caused people to still be scared with the construction of nuclear power plants to produce electricity. Most people inadvertently tremble upon confronted with various danger safety signs and symbols near nuclear power plants.

Nevertheless, apart from the Three-Mile Island accident which did not claim any lives nor resulted in environmental damages—although taken as the greatest U.S. nuclear power-plant accident—and the Chernobyl accident (in the old USSR bloc), which claimed over 30 lives and caused major radioactivity in nearby areas—perhaps due to the old USSR’s secretiveness—performances of nuclear power plants worldwide had been excellently safe.

Whereas fossil-fuel-dependent power plants have been instrumental to release carbons and greenhouse gases to the atmosphere causing pollution and global warming, nuclear power plants had almost zero greenhouse-gas emission and are almost clean.

The traditional power plants have directly or indirectly brought more fatalities than the running of the nuclear power plants in their near 40 years of existence. For illustration, many coal-mine workers died in mining of coals to power conventional coal power plants.

The safety of nuclear power plants is assured by redundant safety measures built into the design itself. Containment of damage in situations of breakdown is guaranteed with a minimum of up to three stages. Protection is also completely assured even for human mistake or series of human mistakes. These protections are aside from the regular provision of basic notice signs and danger warning signs to prompt nuclear operators always on guard.

There is truly nothing to be apprehensive of the safety of nuclear power plants. Hence, nuclear power plants are nearly risk-free with regard to its operation and are certainly environment-friendly producers of electricity. The only threat is human factor, unfortunately a reality that is implicit not only in nuclear power plants but also in nearly all moments in daily lives. Nevertheless, protections against these are also strictly installed in nuclear power plants.
