Nuclear misadventures
In our country,
concerns related to reactor safety and radiation dangers are not
critically discussed primarily due to a lack of experts on this subject.
We witness daily acts of suicide bombing and other terrorist incidents.
The threat of terrorists attacking to destroy a nuclear power plant
remains very real. Spent fuel storage facilities at nuclear power plants
remain particularly vulnerable to attack or theft by insiders.
Sabotage,
terrorist attack or equipment failure could result in large-scale
radioactive release. Furthermore, natural disasters like floods and
earthquakes have been occurring very frequently in Pakistan over the
past few years. The country has very limited capacity to deal with any
such disaster.
