Nuclear Power is needed but it is not such a compulsory obligation to do today. It is such a very dangerous thing to do around us. Some 200 or more nuclear power plants currently operate worldwide.This total includes plants in Three Mile Island, the UK, Germany, and Scandinavia that have already come close to Chernobyl- like disasters.
The latest such accident was in Japan, where a complex of seven plants on one site was closed down on the orders of the International nuclear watchdog. The loss of megawatts from the closure is now being replaced by coal imported from Australia. Below are the facts about Indonesia’s nuclear programs. First, the cost of building one plant is around US$ 3 Billion. Another $ 3 Billion would then have to be spent to “ deconstruct ” a plant after the end of its 25 – year lifetime.
Second, any new plant must be built to be able to withstans earthquakes of between 7.5 and 8.5 on the Richter scale. The Japanese plant was substantially damaged by a 6.8 magnitude quake. The recent tremor In Indramayu, West Java, was 7.2 on the Richter scale.
On top of this, the operating personnel at nuclear plants needs to be carefully chosen and well paidn three times above what the current pay scale offers.
