"International Energy Forum 1999" was held in Washington D.C.
during November 5-6, 1999 in the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Crystal
City. Once again the main topic was Nuclear Energy. Various papers
presented contained pros and cons of Nuclear Energy for generating
electricity. We were aiming to clarify the often discussed subject
matter of the virtues of Nuclear Energy with regard to Global
Warming as compared to using fossil fuels for the generation of
electricity. The latter is also currently the only way to operate
our means of transportation like automobiles, planes etc. Therefore
emission into the atmosphere of greenhouse gases constitutes the
main source of Global Warming, which is absent in the case of
Nuclear Energy. These arguments are often put forward to promote
the use of Nuclear Energy. However not all is well with the Nuclear
Energy. There are the questions of the waste problem so far
unsolved, safety of Nuclear Reactors is not guaranteed to the
extent that they are inherently safe. If we aim to construct
inherently safe reactors, then the economics of a Nuclear Reactor
makes it unacceptable.
