James
Lovelock's Misquided Call
Nukes
Aren't a Solution to Global Warming
By
JOHN BLAIR
A recent call by respected environmental
leader, Professor James Lovelock, to combat global climate change
by building nuclear plants may seem logical on the surface.
Afterall, we don't hear much
about nukes these days-just the occasional story of a forced
shut down or the ongoing story about the controversy surrounding
Bush's decision to move forward with the Yucca Mountain nuclear
waste dump in Nevada-opposed, incidentally, by nearly everyone
in Nevada.
But, nukes problems are many-waste,
security, lack of political support and most ominous for the
proponents themselves, the enormous cost and doubt about dealing
with the other issues.
When Indiana's Marble Hill
plant was forced to shut down construction in 1984, more than
$2.8 billion had been squandered by an arrogant Public Service
Indiana and it was only 20% complete. That compares with an original
cost estimate of $700 million when the plants were announced.
Capital markets found that
money could not be spent fast enough to finish a nuke. It was
so bad that PST's sister utility in Cinergy, Cincinnati Gas &
Electric canceled their Zimmer nuke when it was more than 90%
complete and converted it to coal.
Across the US, nuclear investors
saw their investments wither in the foul wind that followed Three
Mile Island. It was not only construction costs that ran uncontrolled.
Nukes require "enriched uranium" to form their fuel
pellets. The record of enrichments plants around the country
is a legacy of waste, disease and fraud.
Since the nuclear industry
has failed to grow, we have not had a community seeking to build
an enrichment facility for a very long time. Enrichment is just
the second phase of the nuclear fuel cycle. First comes mining
of the precious uranium which, by itself, leaves huge volumes
of contaminated waste that mainly stays piled up on mining company
land.
No solution for that is even
discussed.
Nuclear's third phase is transporting
the commercial grade fuel. It is usually transported quietly
by either rail or truck through unsuspecting communities. So
far the record is good but we only operate slightly more than
100 nuclear plants in the US today. Will that record remain if
we increase the number to, say, 300 plants across Central America
and the US?
Opposition to nukes in the
past has mainly been locally based. Marble Hill was just one
of many nukes that were either forced to cease construction by
democratic action or stockholder revolt. Marble Hill caused PSI
stock to fall from $28 per share during the height of construction
to only $7 per share and should have caused PSI to go belly up,
and it would have if it had not been bailed out by then Indiana
Governor Orr's administration.
Other nukes were either canceled
or drastically reduced in size.
Resistance grew strong after
the meltdown at Three Mile Island in 1979 and the disaster at
Chernobyl in Ukraine in 1986.
There has not been a nuclear
facility to break ground since.
It is academic to wonder how
such a proposal would be met today in a community desperate for
"jobs" at any cost. We are likely to find out in the
near future since Bush is busy promoting more nukes and the huge
taxpayer subsidies to make it happen.
Trade issues come to bear as
well. It used to be that corporations that owned U.S. based nukes
had to be owned by Americans only. Free trade rules are likely
to render that moot. Perhaps some angry Saudis could build a
nuke in our midst in deference to the World Trade Organization.
Or maybe, since political opposition
is strong in the US, we will just build the nukes in Honduras
or another Central American Free Trade Association country to
promote economic development in that region.
Yes, there are safety problems
with nuclear plants. Since they are built by humans and operated
by humans, they are subject to error all along the way. What
would be a minor error at a coal plant could turn into a major
disaster at a nuke. They must operate perfectly but yet they
usually do not.
Nukes in the private sector
are built and operated by people who are trying to cut as many
costs as possible so they can brag to their bosses about their
profitability. News that major expense will be required to make
something right while the plant is shut down for extensive repairs
will not gain the plant manager favor in a multinational corporation
hierarchy. That results in less than adequate oversight at any
level of operation.
Then, too, the regulatory feature
of nukes has been severely compromised in ways that appear to
allow nearly self regulation. A good example is First Energy's
Davis-Besse plant in Ohio which had boron rusting away the steel
dome of one of the units for years before the Nuclear Regulatory
Commission acted. Numerous inspections failed to reveal the flaw.
Most nukes are now owned by energy merchants, it is almost certain
that the voluntary approach to inspection will be lacking.
But it is not just the possibility
of accidents that make nukes scary for neighbors, near and far.
In today's world, terrorism is a far greater threat to the sanguine
prospect of nuclear energy. Many of today's nukes are within
a few feet of roads or highways that are accessible to the public.
It may be that concrete containment buildings may be impervious
to a rocket propelled grenade or a tornado, but they have never
really been tested against a larger, tank type of weapon or a
747 piloted by a terrorist.
But, the greatest threat from
terrorists is probably a well-planned plant takeover by armed
insurgents who would face only locally trained pretend-a-cops
who stand in their way. Taking over a plant could result not
only in holding an entire country hostage, but the right person
at the controls could cause a disaster way beyond that experienced
at either TMI or Chernobyl.
Should that happen, the radiation
unleashed could have devastating impacts on regional and global
mortality and morbidity as well as severely impacting the genetics
of several future generations.
And, then there is nuclear
waste.
Each 1000 megawatt reactor
yields enough plutonium each year to produce as many as forty
nuclear bombs. Plutonium has a half-life of 24,000 years, meaning
that in 24,000 years, half of its potency is gone. It takes at
least ten half-lifes for it to become moderately inert-that is
nearly a quarter million years.
It seems logical to assume
that in a quarter million years, there may be some despot emerge
who would have the ability to process ever increasing volumes
of nuclear waste into military use, at least creating a crude
but highly lethal weapon. If we increase the volume of nuclear
waste, there will be a corresponding volume of dirty bomb grade
plutonium. It is impossible to avoid.
But that is just one aspect
of the nuclear waste issue. With such extraordinary long potency,
nuclear waste must be kept from our physical environment forever.
That is a task that has never been accomplished.
What right do we have, as 21st
Century humans whose species has existed for just about a quarter
of the time it will take for today's plutonium to decay, to condemn
future generations to protecting themselves from our greed for
energy?
What makes us think that we
even need additional energy when our power plants operate at
levels barely above 30% efficient so we can use it in appliances
that operate at even less efficient levels?
There is only one reason to
build new power plants, nuclear, or coal-so we can continue to
needlessly consume as if there is no tomorrow and create waste
that will end up burying us in our own filth. And, they say that
man has dominion over the Earth and all its beings-indeed!
A massive public and private
program to rebuild our energy infrastructure with more efficient
appliances and generators is a tremendous economic growth opportunity.
Efficiency gains could be our new export industry.
Lovelock is right to recognize
the immediate need to respond to global warming, but nuclear
power carries too heavy a price for our grandkids to pay.
John Blair runs Valley Watch, an environmental
group in Evansville, Indiana that battles against big coal and
the nuclear industry. In 1979, he won the Pulitzer Prize for
news photography. He can be reached at: ecoserve1@aol.com
