Opting Out of Nuclear Energy - Lances of Equal Length ! Situation: 01 Mining and transporting of uranium: It is not and cannot be carried out in a sustainable manner. 02 Operation: The risks of operating nuclear power stations are so high that they cannot be insured by insurance companies. The operators of the stations are not in the position to accumulate reserves that would cover the risks. 03 Recycling and disposal: They
threaten human beings and the environment. 04 Mining of uranium: Achieving the coverage of the identified external costs. 05 Operation: Regulate (by law) and monitor risk coverage by the station operators or insurance companies. 06 Recycling of fuel rods: Forbid it. 07 Disposal: Regulate (by law) and control safe standards for transport and storage of radioactive material. 08 Shut down technically unsafe energy-generating plants: Reserves for covering costs should be regulated and controlled in a timely manner. Likewise, to prevent the spin-off of such plants from holdings, in order to make it impossible for bankruptcies to be placed on the shoulders of taxpayers. Communicate the shut-down of plants in a timely manner, so that plant operators can amortize in good faith transacted investments. 09 Promote other energy-generating methods by creating lances of equal length for all energy carriers and resources. |
