Nuclear. A few months ago we wondered if the great powers, following the disaster of Fukushima they were really considering giving up nuclear power. Beyond the specific plans already in place in Germany and Switzerland, some European states seem to consider nuclear power as a convenient and not dangerous energy resource.
This is the case of the Lithuania, whose premier, after underlining that his country imports 70% of the energy necessary for national energy needs from Russia, explained how thenuclear energy both to be considered the least expensive "nuclear energy is the one that costs the least of all, with 5,2 cents per Kwh, wind power costs 8,7 and that supplied by gas plants 10,1 cents, not to mention of the 13 of biomass ".
Lithuania, after Fukushima, had no second thoughts in choosing a Japanese company for the construction of the Visaginas nuclear power plant. To the recent questions addressed to the Lithuanian premier Andrius Kubilius from reporters, he replied without hesitation that the Fukushima disaster was caused by one tsunami, a catastrophic climatic event that cannot take place in the Baltic Sea, and that Japanese-made reactors currently have the highest safety standards in the world.
The Lithuanian premier, bearing in mind the economic and energy needs of his country, seems to have absolutely no account of the serious problem of waste disposal nuclear following the closure of a nuclear power plant, the duration of the plants can currently be estimated between 20 and 30 years, and the possibility that serious accidents inside it could be caused due to thehuman error, beyond the onset of an unexpected climatic event.
Meanwhile, at the plant in Fukushima-Daiichi, Tepco has begun operations of fuel removal from the nuclear power plant, necessary to continue with the remediation of the contaminated area. Japanese Prime Minister Noda visited the Fukushima area, seeking to lend support to all who are committed to a future rebirth of the region.
President Nada has decided to visit both the plants where the removal of the fuel is currently underway, and the area with the highest risk of contamination, in order to be able to highlight his support for all those who are still in a situation of difficulties and suffering following what happened in March 2011. In recent weeks in Japan it has made its way a proposal which provides for thecomplete abandonment of nuclear power by 2040 thanks to the use of alternative energy sources to it. However, this opportunity would have already divided the opinions of politicians.
