Nuclear power stations

Nuclear energy Nuclear energy is maybe the cleanest sorce of electrical energy. The biggest problem are nuclear wastes.

Good and bad things Good: Clean Good efficiency Good stocks of uranium Low costs of energy Bad: Nuclear bombs Radiation Radioactive waste Its not renewable

In Slovenia In Slovenia we have only one nuclear power station, wich produces 20% of all electricity. Data from 2007

Waste disposal Low radioactive wastes are collected in storage in Podgorica, near Ljubljana.

Waste disposal High radioactive waste materials are stored in nuclear power station Krško.

Waste disposal There is final disposal unit in Slovenia. It will have to be constructed in next years.

Other problems The main problem is radiation, when something happens with nuclear power station. In Slovenia we have problem with cooling the water from reactor, because of that sometimes river the Sava gets hotter.

Public opinion We have done public opinion meter, aboute the nuclear power stations and their problems.

Do you agree that there should be nuclear station in Mislinjska valley? Are you afraid of the fact that there is nuclear power station in Slovenia?

Do you think terorists would attack nuclear power stations? Do you agree on building nuclear waste disposal unit in Mislinjska valley?
