Rosatom Official: Public Won't Feel Safe about Nuclear Energy for Long Time

摘要

Despite some acknowledgement of the necessity of nuclear power to fulfill energy needs, people will continue in the short term to view nuclear technologies with apprehension, according to an official of the Rosatom State Atomic Energy Corporation. "In the near future, people won't feel totally safe about nuclear energy. It is because of the emotional fear. After Chernobyl happened, people started forgetting, and then Fukushima happened so the fear came back," said Alexander Nikitin, who heads the Public Council Working Group for interaction with the public and environmental organisations on radioactive waste (RAW).
