No comparison

You cannot compare Filipinos in the Nuclear Division of the U.S. Navy and the Filipinos who will run the nuclear power plant in Pangasinan. For one thing, the Filipinos serving the U.S. Navy have been trained by the Navy by people with decades of experience in handling nuclear power ships and submarines. Decades of experience learning, analyzing, testing nuclear power before they put it in their ships. They have developed very strict protocols to follow to make running the nuclear powered ships safe for everyone on board. They have “decades of experience and established strict protocols.”
Now, the Filipinos who will run the Pangasinan nuclear power plant will be trained by whom? By mediocre personalities? Who in Pangasinan has decades of knowledge and experience to run a nuclear power plant? Who in Pangasinan has experimented, tested, respected, worked with nuclear fission, and who greatly respects the vast power of this science? Who will ensure the safety of my own relatives who still chose to live there, your relatives, the Sunday Punch personnel and their families, and the rest of the people of Pangasinan? What happens when there is a meltdown? Shall they abandon their homes, pack up and live in the Northern, and Southern tip of the Philippines? What will they do with the spent nuclear rods still emitting dangerous high levels of radiation? Bury it in your own backyard?
The risk is just too great to have a nuclear power plant, and this risk is multiplied many times fold when it is built in Pangasinan.
You like comparing these two countries; you cannot compare these two countries; there is no comparison. The Filipinos in the U.S. Navy have the knowledge and training to serve there, or else they will not be on board. The U.S. has many nuclear physicists who spent their life studying this part of science. The U.S. is capable to run a nuclear powered plant.
Our present corrupt system of government, our culture of kumpadre and kumadre – everyone is a relative of everybody, and our great law of the land that is applied only to the poor is not conducive to running a nuclear powered plant.
Simply, it is dangerous running a nuclear power plant in Pangasinan.
Lets Declare Pangasinan Nuclear Free!
By the way, Edwin, in your entries, do not conflict yourself by supporting the people who approve the plant and later calling them mediocre. Also it is your head that is buried in the sand because you cannot even chickenly publish your last name!
