From Chernobyl to Fukujima - A Perspective of Nuclear Safety that “Taoism Co-Works with Ziran (Nature)” - My Perspective on Nuclear Safety

Abstract:

Nuclear energy, to some extent, has made great contributions to the electronic industry when the fossil fuels are decreasing. Therefore, scientism drives man indulged in his discoveries about nuclear energy, naively believing the nuclear power as an alternative energy for it is reliable, clean, secure and economical. After the nuclear accidents which happened in the Three Mile Island and Chernobyl, especially March 2011, the world-shocking earthquake happened in Japan as well as the nuclear leakage in Fukushima nuclear plant led us to reconsider the development and application of the nuclear energy. From our perspective, how to develop the nuclear energy depends on people’s attitude towards modern science and technology. Man should step out of the limit of scientism, be aware of how much science and technology can do on human beings’ progress under the guideline of the holism that complies with nature, and how application of the nuclear energy goes well with the whole ecological system rather than partially exaggerate its achievements against nature.
