Fukushima, Nuclear Waste and Risk Management as an Argument for Nuclear Energy

The common narrative that nuclear is not safe enough or that nuclear waste and cost are objective or conclusive statements against the use of nuclear energy will be evaluated. Assuming safe enough is when a nuclear accident like Fukushima has no measurable medical consequences will be argued to be insufficient in current common public discourse dispite the obvious benefits. The almost arbitrarily small amount of nuclear waste, its safety record or the cost benefit analysis considerations for nuclear energy in climage change or sustainability will also be evaluated and shown not to be in the common narrative as would be expected from a risk managment approach. The extent to which this has become ubiqutous will also be considered from the literature.
