Re: Human errors and fears
That’s right, Edwin. Chernobyl and Three Mile Island nuclear disasters were caused by human errors. So what exactly is your point of asking us the question, “Will God create another magnitude-nine earthquake followed by a tsunami that created about 70 feet?”
It’s pointless except for a fact that you are trying to mislead other people by making it sound that another nuclear disaster is very remote to happen. Your line of reasoning is technically wrong and misleading because nuclear disasters are also caused by human errors and imperfect designs just like Chernobyl and Three Mile Island.
Do we really fear nuclear power plant because we don’t understand it? I don’t think so. We already had so many tragic and fatal nuclear disasters to clearly understand that it is extremely dangerous to humans and to our natural resources. Thousands of auto accidents every day is no comparison to a nuclear disaster.
There’s a huge difference. Auto accidents don’t cause highly dangerous nuclear radiation that’s extremely dangerous to human and to our natural resources. An explosion and fire in Chernobyl released large quantities of radioactive contamination into the atmosphere, which spread over much of Western USSR and Europe.
In addition, it involved over half-a-million workers and cost an estimated 18 billion rubles (P28-billion pesos), crippling the Soviet economy, to contain the contamination and avert a greater catastrophe.
