As the UK prepares to build a fleet of new nuclear power stations with Chinese capital and expertise, a former state nuclear expert warns: China itself is heading for nuclear catastrophe.
Some members of the nuclear power industry rely too much on theoretical calculations, when only experience can provide real accuracy.

Trapping Carbon Dioxide Or Switching To Nuclear Power Not Enough To Solve Global Warming Problem, Experts Say
ScienceDaily (July 13, 2009) 
The researchers also point out a flaw in the nuclear energy argument. Although nuclear power does not produce carbon dioxide emissions in the same way as burning fossil fuels it does produce heat emissions equivalent to three times the energy of the electricity it generates and so contributes to global warming significantly, Nordell adds.

Nuclear energy isn't needed
Greenpeace Executive Director Kumi Naidoo wrote the following opinion piece for the New York Times/International Herald Tribune
http://www.greenpeace.org/international/en/news/features/Nuclear-energy-isnt-needed/

--------

Additional Note from Greenpeace China about Say No to Nuclear

First, nuclear is low carbon, but not clean.

Uranium mining is a highly polluting industry which provide fuel rods to nuclear power plant. The fuel rod we use in Daya Bay is supplied by AREVA, a french company reach creates radioactive contamination in Niger.
http://www.greenpeace.org/international/press/releases/areva-fails-to-address-radiati/

There is no solution for the waste. Leakage of the waste is found even in a Germany underground storage because of the groundwater. 

The pollution of plutonium in spent fuel will last for 240,000 years. Further more, putting the waste 'out of sight, out of mind' doesnt mean it is clean.

Second, even the latest third generation reactor is not safe. The industry failed to rule out the possibility of heavy accident like Chernobyl. 

During the construction of the only 2 third generation reactors in the world, over 3,000 defects are found. It fully reflected the unreliability of nuclear technology. 

Another evidence for the safety concern is that not a single nuclear plant is willing to take full liability of possible heavy accident. 

If they are really so confident that the latest nuclear plant is completely safe, they dont have to put a cap on their liability on heavy accident. 

Nowaday, the limited liability is still a common practise in the industry.

Lastly, Hong Kong is a developed city without a huge population growth, but with very high income. In other words, it is our job to improve our energy efficiency. 

We suggest to improve our energy efficiency by 25% while government only target at less than 15% improvement by 2020. 

Obviously, they are considering import more nuclear energy rather than controlling our energy consumption in a larger extent. 

Greenpeace is going to lanuch our energy scenairo without increase nuclear power in the coming weeks. Please keep an eye on our website and facebook!

Thank you very much. 

Best Regards,
Prentice Koo
Campaigner, Greenpeace China

The IPCC AR5 – First impressions
By Nir Shaviv, Wed, 2013-10-02 
http://goo.gl/fywKA3

"I think the real reason why there is no improvement in the understanding of climate sensitivity is the following. If you have a theory which is correct, then as progressively more data comes in, the agreement becomes better. Sure, occasionally some tweaks have to be made, but overall there is an improved agreement. However, if the basic premises of a theory are wrong, then there is no improved agreement as more data is collected. In fact, it is usually the opposite that takes place, the disagreement increases. In other words, the above behavior reflects the fact that the IPCC and alike are captives of a wrong conception."
