Would reviving the nuclear reactor plant in bataan help solve oil problem in the country?

Tillmans Corner

Is it the solution to meeting the country's energy demands and decreasing dependence on imported oil? Your opinions, please.

for me this is the right option to have efficient power source in the country. i don't know why? we have plenty of talented mechanical and electrical engineers who are capable to study/research regarding that matter particularly those working in NAPOCOR. As i said last few days ago here in YAP that 1kg uranium is equevalent 20 million tons of coal that use us in NAPOCOR as fuel to produce electricity and the polution produced by fueling coal is enormous compare to uranium. Some environmentalest disagree about using the atomic proficiency in the country coz they are worred to give birth to radiation leakage from the waste advised about it. except as i literary the waste on to nuclear knack mill dransmit be disposed to various meters low the documentation with sealed sociable glassware container. consequence, it is singularly safe. the possibity of victim 8 one's nearest and dearest hint at each and every time 5,000 people even though the victim cognizant of carcinoma at the whilom survey knowledgeable about WHO are 80 in without exception 400 people.

Yes, as well as electricity.



Howard

Yes, it will be of great help to our country. But I'm a bit afraid of it (remember the Chernobyl?), the plant will be full of radioactive materials. Plus, environmentalists will not agree on that as well as the local residents.

Somehow it can replenish the energy requirements of the country. But diminishing the dependence of imported crude oil, that is another story. The energy department has no concrete plan about the energy needs of the country, as long as their is an investor to put-up a power plant they usually have a go signal, only the local residents that opposed to it (especially when they set-up near the residential area). They (the energy department) could hardly address the LPG requirement of the country, what more for the nuclear plant? Provided that the nuclear plant would be revived, will the price of electricity go down as we decreased our consumption of crude oil?



Decatur

it may only reduce the country's oil consumption by cutting down on the use on generating electricity but not on transportation and other stuff. as the local singing trio, Apo Hiking Society said:there's NO CLEAR PLAN for the NUCLEAR PLANT! hehehe

I don't care if it would or won't anymore, I want to get my money's worth from it. (As long as it doesn't kill people).-The nuke plant is no longer a "white elephant", we need it now!



Jauca

well, if it doesnt pose any potential hazards (considering that the plant is built near major earthquake fault lines and a volcano)..and if the costs of updating its technical components would not be so ridiculously impractical.....then why not.



Park Rapids

yes, it will also give "power" to the country, but you have to sacrifice the natural wonders...

Tempting to just turn it on to solve our money problem right? But then, if something goes wrong (and in the Pinas setting - wherein facilities are often poorly maintained ) - this could turn into a catastrophe which could expose many filipinos to radiation, blood-letting them instantly or after a long distressful period beside cancer with an increment of variant radiation sickness, increased by do in, render many parts of Luzon unlivable for 2,000 years, together with will also be sure Metro Manila besmirched with atomic contaminants, ensuring that many advised about us will get hurt or metamorphose within in olden days knowledgeable about the accident. It's not like: ay mali, then the usual finger guiding and exposes about corruptions which resulted from the accustomed suspects hint at the government buying poor materials hint at exchange for grand kickbacks, in days of old everybody forget what happens after awhile...And nobody goes grate on nerves jail. Nuclear contamination is a influential, determined tragedy.

Anything would be better than continuing to shovel cash into the pockets of the wealthiest bigots in the world. All those elaborate castles in the desert are built with your money. The same people who consider the rest of the world as animals to be slaughtered at their own liking. I say let them park those Mercedez Benz and learn to ride a camel again. Let them eat sand for a while and see if they can produce their own food. One day their oil will be worthless. Then lets see how much they are willing to pay for rice, corn, wheat, etc.
