A report released this week by the Associated Press detailed extensive Tritium leaks at Nuclear Power facilities across the U.S., bolstering some critic’s arguments that Nuclear power is not a viable means of providing safe, sustainable energy. Tritium – an isotope of hydrogen – is not dangerous to humans externally, but is a radiation hazard when inhaled, ingested via food or water, or absorbed through the skin.
Nuclear Power and Climate Change:
The AP findings on radioactive leaks have cast new doubts on Nuclear Power’s safety, particularly after the Japanese Fukushima plant disaster. Despite the safety concerns, however, Nuclear Power advocates continue to insist that Nuclear Powers benefits - particularly its low-carbon footprint – outweigh its risks. |
