Japan Nuclear Disaster

Nuclear Winter: Its almost like the proverbial Nuclear winter tales that's going on currently. Japan is experiencing some of the worst snow-falls and a biting cold weather adding to its already Tsunami and Earthquake shattered miseries and thus plaguing rescue and settling down efforts.


The recent developments in Japan has once again brought out a nuclear debate in the entire world. Sure every country is trying to defend its positions by still holding on to their safe position theories, but Japan has exposed building on nuclear power technology in the long run perhaps not such a safe idea after-all. With such a technologically advanced country floundering with USA in its side staunchly supporting its protection efforts, we can only imagine about the third world or the so called developing countries trying to gain nuclear momentum.

Time and again nuclear events have shown, its one artificial or natural disaster which takes quite a troll on not only human life but a country's economy as a whole. From Hiroshima to Chernobyl to Bhopal, Nuclear disasters have been un-relenting, and the important part is Nuclear technology is something artificially developed. But countries are just building on their positions. And most important is the cost of it also. Building on a nuclear platform ain't cheap.

Where in most developing countries poverty and nutrition levels are below standards, Country's still jump on this risky asset, which not only is costly but also life taking. I guess at that amount of cost if the major countries of the world come up together, they can jointly develop some other alternative to our rising fuel and power needs. Japan has already signaled scrapping few of its nuclear plants on the danger zone with continued radiation even after massive safeguard efforts both by Japan and USA. This is a time countries should ponder about continuing in this luxury. An interesting quote I read somewhere- "Most kids can't understand why a country that makes atomic bombs would ban fireworks".

Some famous quotes by some of the most influencing people.

* If only I had known, I should have become a watchmaker. - Albert Einstein


* I am become death, The destroyer of Worlds. - J. Robert Oppenheimer


* The world is a very different one now. For man holds in his mortal hands the power to abolish all forms of human poverty, and all forms of human life. - J.F. Kennedy

The earth itself was created out of Nuclear fission and fusions and perhaps its..... Now as they say man himself has become the reason for his own destruction, perhaps God has planted its seed for a harsh winter ahead for everyone of us!
