not good idea sa pilipinas,,
di man gani ta maka tarong ug labay anang atong mga wrapper sa kendi,,, kana nabang nuclear waste! sus!

[masakiton]

bitaw.. sayang ang nuclear power plant sa bataan.. sa ako na basahan.. pwede siya maka produce 600MW. pwede baya unta hinayhinayan lang sa nila ug pa rehab ang planta.. atleast small power output lang sa ug for educational/training purposes pud

makat on ug ma educated ta on how to maintain and operate a nuclear power plant.

Hadlok man mo anang Nuclear disaster bah. Ang mga kanal og sapa diri sa ato ang hugaw sobra pa sa nuclear waste.

ok ra mn unta kung dili pinoy ang mag-operate...

[davanitz]

i do have some chilled spine if i hear nuclear energy.. why can't we use other alternatives wind, solar, or perhaps methane gas from our waste(basura)?

[rapjanmac]

^^ agree ko nmo kuya.. mas better kung natural resources.. naay 4500 MW geothermal potential ang pinas

^^ngita mn silag dako nga makurakot gd...

Nuclear power carries too many risks that outweighs the benefits. Let us not even consider it as an option. Let Cebu instead be among the pioneers for alternative, renewable energy resources or systems.

If this is the case, y man ang ubang nasod nigamit man ani nga power source? Especially those developed nations.

Nuclear energy source is not an option diri sa Cebu or anywhere sa Pilipinas, period.. nawa ni ang sample sa ubos:

The hazards involved if there are malfunctions and breach of mechanical integrity, process failures is magnanimous, just imagine releasing a very radioactive Uranium 235 into the environment and into the people within that environment, which has a half life of 700 million years. The effects are instantaeneous death due to direct exposure, cell damage, organ failures, for the less exposed so on and so forth, and the risk will continue for 700 million years.

Nuclear power plants need to be built in wide flat areas, which Cebu (a thin ribbon-shaped island) does not have. Why invest in nuclear power plants when the Visayas islands (which are all inter-connected via submarine power cables) have natural sources like geothermal, hydroelectric and wind energy sources.

Besides, the demand for power is not that high. Who would invest billions of US dollars for a 1,000-MW nuclear power plant (the smallest for nuclear) when the total demand for the entire Visayas is less than 1,000 MW? Who will pay for the excess capacity -- consumers!

My two cents.

Central Visayas' demand of power is higher than what you stated here. Please read the link below.
