TAMPA, United States of America, 2 April (Xinhua) - the Hydra top nuclear disasters unfolding in Japan a long list of nuclear accident records added and make the biggest bone of contention of the nuclear energy industry.
The first recorded case of nuclear accident can be dated nuclear complex, back 60 years ago on a rural Canadian, whose nuclear reactor could not makes what finally to a number of hydrogen explosions shut down.
Since then, a number of countries saw have breakdowns on their own nuclear power plants, including Argentina, France, Germany, United Kingdom, Hungary, Japan, Spain, the former Soviet Union, the United States, among others.
None of the previous nuclear accidents caused but were by an earthquake and subsequent tsunami, such as Japan, which radiation control team has put in a new, more dangerous situation in the country.
Japan's nuclear crisis the world of nuclear risks mull has asked to run their own countries and sparked a wave of protests against the use of nuclear energy.
President Barack Obama made it clear in a speech at Georgetown University in Washington, D.C., the United States back not the dependence of nuclear energy would pare.
"We are committed to the development of commercial concepts for nuclear energy without spreading dangerous technology and material,", said a press release entitled "blueprint for a secure energy future," which was published in connection with Obama's speech.
FOCUS OF ATTENTION WORLD
At the moment, the Fukushima nuclear power plant at the center of attention of the world has become as traces of radioactive particles have been found as far as Florida.
On Saturday, workers found a 20-cm crack in pit on its no. 2 reactor, 4,000 times of the legally allowed for the evacuation of the highly radioactive water were released.
Meanwhile, international nuclear experts are monitoring crippled nuclear plant closely and update their results.
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC)) has a team of experts sent to Japan, to help technical assistance to tackle the crisis.
"We have launched a thorough review nuclear power plant safety in the United States, what lessons we can from the Japanese crisis here and apply them to our regulatory oversight here in the United States," said David McIntyreNRC spokesman.
"Some of our employees in Japan returned (by Fukushima) and others sent be." No word on how long it it will be necessary, "said McIntyre."
Giant Areva and one of the most powerful female executives of France Wednesday, Anne Lauvergeon, Chief Executive of nuclear power, say French in Japan with three experts on radioactive pollution, they sent to the staff of Fukushima, adjusting efforts help came.
The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has sent experts to Fukushima.
"Our technical experts deal 24 (hours per day) seven (week days) with emergency... are (completely) we focused on emergency measures at the moment", said Greg Webb, IAEA press and public information officer.
In the light of the serious image, crippled nuclear power station scrapped are must, Prime Minister Naoto Kan said Thursday, a day after Chief said Cabinet Secretary Yukio Edano the Fukushima plant was most likely out of service used.
Edano told a press conference Wednesday, that he believed that all six reactors in the nuclear facility in the northeastern Japan for the Japanese public's best interest should be closed.
An option to do the very dangerous task of the decommissioning of the nuclear power is to use robot.
Dismantling the US Shippingport Atomic power station in Western Pennsylvania, which lasted more than three years was cited as an example of a successful reactor decommissioning.
With Japan, things like its nuclear power plant but differ by radiation, so that the task is more difficult and more dangerous contaminated.
