文章提到日本死抱著第一二代核電技術不放,目的就是要製造鈈來造核彈。這一點十分謊謬。福島核電廠建於七十年代,那時還未有第三代的核電科技。事實上,日本是第一個建成第三代核電機組的國家。目前已有四台。台灣有兩台還未建成。中國有一台會於 2013完工。歐洲只是有項目已批核。美國就只在提議階段。第三代核電設計只有一款已被美國政府批准,那是在 1997 年的事。其他還有很多新設計都是著重 passive safety features 和怎樣克服 loss of coolant 的問題。但這些設計都未被政府批核。基本上,新技術志在改善安全,和能否製造鈈是完全沒有關係的。
"Much of the world increase in renewable electricity supply is fueled by hydropower and wind power. ..... Except for those two sources, most renewable generation technologies are not economically competitive with fossil fuels over the projection period, outside a limited number of niche markets."
9. International Conference on Management of Spent Fuel from Nuclear Power Reactors
"Reprocessing and recycling of the plutonium in MOX-fuel is performed on a commercial scale in France, ..... There have been operational and teething problems with the reprocessing plants and MOX facilities in UK and Japan, but the policy for recycling is clear. ..... The US and Russia have agreed to burn 34 tons of weapons grade plutonium each as MOX fuel for LWRs in USA and for fast reactors in Russia."
