Let the sleeping dog lies...

Why push if it is just too many risks and has a great deal of downside?!
It had been closed many years ago and it should remain like that forever...the people who instigated putting this up didn't think of the serious disadvantage it would bring in the future. They didn't give a thought of the lump amount of money we have to pay for this project, in fact we paid it for 30 years, struggling inspite of the crises we have been experiencing over the years and still we do. Some people backpedalled, when there are so many important issues to be looked upon like unemployment and so on. Pag nagkakaproblema di naman kayo apektado kungdi ang mga mahihirap...

Unforeseen flaws or human error like in the case of the Three Mile Island Accident [1979] happened, so why would the government take the risk to revive the mothballled project of Bataan Nuclear Power Plant in Morong, Bataan [one of our best tourist attractions and has been declared as Bird's Sanctuary for migratory birds]...when it can possibly bring havoc in one flick of a single tiniest error?

Another mishap happened at Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant [as shown in the picture], and who would forget that? As a GREENPEACE advocate, I strongly nix the idea of reviving it to roar into life. We all know that radiation is very hazardous, in fact it has fatal effects on human health once it is emitted. How can they explain that there'll be an assurance of no spill and no accident due to human [and or technical] error will ever happen when several accidents have had already took place because simple little things were once overlooked? And how about steam explosion risk and debris removal? And the underwater too will be affected for sure, who knows? This thing is only horrible in the eyes of many simple and peace-loving citizen. If everyone is God-fearing I don't think there won't be one to instigate this fatal project into action...

It is difficult to accurately tell the number of deaths caused by the events at Chernobyl, as the Soviet-era cover-up made it difficult to track down victims. Lists were incomplete, and Soviet authorities later forbade doctors to cite "radiation" on death certificates.

Say NO to BNPP !


See GREENPEACE announcement here... http://aisteru-nokk.blogspot.com/
Proud to say that I am a Greenpeace online activist!

Be a part!

From: GREENPEACE SEAsia
Recently they have proposed a House Bill proposing to revive the 'mothballed' Bataan Nuclear Power Plant (BNPP). That's why we would like to invite you to join us in saying: “NO TO BNPP!”

This Sunday, (February 22, 2009) 9AM, we are hoping to gather at least 500 people in a human banner to say "NO TO BNPP", at the Sunken Garden of the University of the Philippines in Diliman.

The image of this human banner will be sent as a solidarity message to the people of the Bataan as well as to send a clear message to our lawmakers that the message is clear: “NO TO BNPP”.

If you would like to be part of this activity, please call +6322414 8643 ext.111 or 117.

Hope to see you there!

Peace,
Francis Dela-Cruz
