Is the world mature enough to have next nuclear reactor? by Natalia Holvova

Nuclear power has been considered as one of the most dangerous ones in the world since the terrible accident in Chernobyl in 1986 happened which caused so many deaths, injuries and consequential health problem almost all over the world. Specially the way Russians were hiding what happened and nobody really knows all the after-effects buried in the deepness of Soviet diplomacy. Of course technologies has developed and probably are safer today, anyhow scientist are skeptic. Who can be sure that developing countries that have problems to fix their economical problems would know how to stay safe with the nuclear power plants all over their counties. The thing is they have huge inspiration because of the gas prices rocketing. Everyone is thinking how to pay less and simultaneously keep people out of danger and discomfort. One of the most open country that plans to built more power pants, is China. The rate of the Chinese number of deaths by working is moving around in thousands. And that is only official number which is almost impossible to verify. The technologies they have in the country are also aimed more on results than people's health and safety. For some reason it seems they can afford to lose some of workers and there are no manners the world can control illegality. So is the world ready for next nuclear power plant? Is specially developing world, which is actively considering the option to have it, ready? And are people okay with the fact that unprepared countries will run these risky energy resources?
