Our Lessons from Japan

The massive Tsunami which hit Japan on Mar 11, 2011 was itself one of the most devastating incidents in the history of mankind. It was so boisterous that the country declared it the second most dangerous disaster after II World War.

Massive flood killed thousands of people and lakhs are unsheltered. But it is not over yet. This is just ending of one phase another one and even more terrible is on the row i.e. Nuclear Radiations. Fukushima Nuclear reactor which is also affected by the tsunami waves is now spreading the danger of harmful nuclear radiations which will undoubtedly result more horribly.

Now the big question arises “IS it safe to use nuclear fuel as a source for generating electricity?” and question for us “Is it safe to produce electricity by uranium in a country like India?” My first question is a question of whole international community to look after, but second one is more important for us Indians. We all are well known about the sincerity and technical development of Japan. They are simply tech savvy people with sincerity for their work. But here in India technology is almost in hell and I don’t need to talk about our sincerity.

See na where you can find radioactive material in a scrap shop and that too in the capital of country what is the guarantee that such a things will not be available so easily in the nearby markets when start using on such a big scale.

Just see for a while we all know how responsibly our system works and another is how many of us are aware about radioactive material. And above all if something like Japan happens god only knows what type of situation it would be.

Through this article I don’t want to say that you should not take measures for power supply. After all an ever growing country like India need uninterrupted power supply to reach its target but at the same time I would suggest to adopt a better and safe way to complete our target. And still if you don’t find any option for nuclear energy then it would be better to go with Thorium based nuclear reactors than Uranium based nuclear reactors. Because it is comparatively safe and will help us to save some money also.
