Hi Shaun,
Now that is funny...:-).
One of the other things that I find very strange, as well as funny...is that
there are an awful lot of countries, particularly the poorer ones, who also
want nuclear weapons, and yet, the countries who have already got them, find
that they can’t get rid of them! All those nuclear weapons, the nuclear sites
and all those high and low radioactive substances are very damaging to human
beings, to our environment...and very expensive to maintain...and contain.
In fact the amount of money that is spent on the production of nuclear
weapons, the mining and the refining of uranium and turning it into plutonium
is incredible. However, it doesn’t even compare with the cost in human
resources, of those miners who dig the oxide out of the ground, or the other
workers in the industry, and the families who live near nuclear power stations,
who suffer cancers and shortened lives, or those who suffer from nuclear
accidents, massive amounts of radiation released by tsunamis or human folly in
the terms of removing safety procedures to get increased power.
There are now somewhere in the region of 435 nuclear power stations operating
or under construction in over 31 countries.
See url: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C._P._Snow
When nuclear power was first used to produce electricity...at what was called
Windscale and is now called Sellafield, it was opened by the Queen and dressed
up as an electrical power producing plant, which made cheap electricity from
nuclear fuel and it was said to be very safe and good for the environment,
because it didn’t use fossil fuels and pollute the environment.
I remember at the time Windscale was being built, I was sitting in the
dentists waiting room, as an emergency patient with toothache, when my mind was
taken away from the pain by reading an article in the National Geographical
Magazine, which always seemed to be freely available at the dentists at the
time. The article was on the merits and use of nuclear power and nuclear
fission in particular, and showed some pictures and diagrams of the
construction of the plant and the science behind nuclear fission. I was only
around 11 years old at the time, but I was so absorbed by the article that I
completely forgot about my toothache, thinking what a wonderful invention it
was.
For a more modern resume of nuclear fission, see url:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_fission
What was kept secret at the time, was the massive subsidies from the government
to the industry, to those corporations building the plant, the massive amount
of concrete needed to encase it for safety reasons, and the huge amounts of
money spent on securing the plant. All the secret stuff came out later, a book
was written called “The Corridors of Power” by C.P. Snow...
See url: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C._P._Snow
still well worth a read to get into the secret, Machiavellian machinations of
our ruling establishment who were determined to get it built. How can one
oppose something if one doesn’t know it is occurring?
Most people didn’t have a clue in those days just how dangerous this stuff
was, even though Hiroshima and Nagasaki was still fresh in the minds of those
who survived the second world war. Like me they didn’t tend to associate
peaceful uses of nuclear power with its being a “weapon of mass destruction”.
In fact the phrase is a new invention, coming out of 9/11 and the Iraq War.
Many people thought that nuclear fission was the best thing since the invention
of sliced bread, most others didn’t care or weren’t bothered, just like today,
too busy surviving and getting on with life, living in the present. Again, the
government was clever, (the management of persons and their perceptions of
reality is hardly a new concept) nuclear power was sold on the basis of being a
peaceful use of the awesome power of nuclear fission, a nice, clean, controlled
environment, with plenty of safety procedures and controls to prevent it from
going “pear” shaped...:-)... and cheap power readily available for the
consumption of the masses in the coming, not social, but consumer revolution.
All those electrical consumer goods, white goods, household aids, would never
have sold in such quantities if it hadn’t been for cheaper electricity and hire
purchase.
I have changed my mind a number of times on support or non-support of nuclear
power being used for producing electricity. As time goes by, and hindsight
comes to the front, as nuclear accidents increased in both severity and
numbers, as nuclear weapons multiplied both in size, in form and types of
delivery, as methods of containment of nuclear rubbish were found to be
leaking; it became more worrying for me. Sellafield or Windscale containment
areas leach radioactive materials quite profusely, millions of pounds being
spent on putting a finger in the dyke. In the Northern tip of Scotland,
Dounray, leaks radioactivity into the beaches and sea, preventing the fishermen
from carrying on their trade, all due to burying used nuclear products...BELOW
sea level in underground storage centres.
These days, with further knowledge developing about using fossil fuels more
cleanly and new types of more environmentally sustainable power production,
from heat pumps to wind turbines, hydro electric and tidal power stations,
cleaner burning of coal; there are alternatives which cost far less than
nuclear power ever did. It is interesting to note that more money was spent on
researching nuclear power in one year, than has ever been spent on researching
alternative and more sustainable forms of energy production and conservation
for the last 70 years.
So, we are left today, with countries still hanging on to nuclear power, to
weapons of mass destruction, those that have them trying to prevent them from
proliferation, only to find that their intelligence services, or spies or those
who wish to make a fast buck in the nuclear industry or large corporation,
subvert the system or break the law, and give, sell or make the secrets
available for all sorts of other expedient reasons. And that poor countries or
countries who feel disadvantaged or are being conned into believing that
nuclear power and weapons are the answer to peace and cheap electricity
production, are queuing up to becoming members of the nuclear club. Iran has
plenty of oil, more than enough to sustain its exports and internal usage for a
hundred years. Why does it want nuclear power...if not nuclear weapons?
But human folly is nothing new and never original...it is just the scale of it
that gets better and bigger... Lists of nuclear accidents can be studied...
See url:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lists_of_nuclear_disasters_and_radioactive_incidents
For all the ones that are known about.
At least, over millions of years, the continental plates will consume and
subsume our present environment, and new sets of problems and new species will
surface for someone or some other thing to solve. I feel some science fiction
coming on here...”The Kraken Wakes” by John Wyndam, perhaps ...:-).
I hope you all enjoy this little piece and find it interesting and
educational...if not...perhaps you would like to contribute your own...:-).

wow, all you need is a bunch of enriched uranium and high explosives to design
a nuclear weapon?
I think it is a little more complex than that

shorter by Israel’s.>>>end of quote.

Strange how no one is talking about, or even mentioning, or hinting...at
Israel’s nuclear weapons...Not Iran, not the USA, not the UK, not France, not
Russia, not India, not Pakistan, not China, not North Korea...not even
Netanyahu, or the government of Israel...Is it one of those big secrets? An
invisible elephant on the world’s stage?
