No nuclear plant can be made to last forever. They are really short-lived structures. The average age of the world's reactors is 21 years (Hirsch et al. (2005).

Thus, sooner or later a nuclear plant becomes not only a potential but a real danger to any human population (Video 1). 


Video 1. The Fukushima nuclear accident.


  
No matter what they tell us that is safe in order to sell it, for it is a business like any other done for profit, this technology is within the bounds of human error and as such it will always contain, according to Hirsch et al. (2005), inherent safety flaws which cannot be eliminated by performing safety upgrading when needed. 

On top of that, any nuclear power plant is really a cracking machine producing dangerous radioactive waste (Video 2). What the fuck do we do with it?

Despite the fact that no nuclear plant can ever be 100% secured from any attack, nevertheless we must also take into consideration the security of this facility. 

And in today´s unstable political world, nuclear plants may become a target for a terrorist wanting to blow it up. 

Here are the big problems.
