The best suicide technology in the world (nuclear technology?)

If Iran knows what's good for them, they'll definitely try hard to prevent such kind of problems, and if they didn't know what's good for them and they had that accident, then indeed it's their problem, their fault.
They have the most to lose from a second Chernobyl within their soil.

Ehm...Nuclear power may be clean but the risks arent worth it. A chernobyl accident would Cause disaster in the world and you know it. If you dont, I agree with the other poster and say your an idiot.
besides we have so many different ways of gaining energy, Solar, Water, wind, Thermal, 4 clean and hardly no risk energy sources that we should be investing it other then nuclear energy.

The only alternative to nuclear power is mass extinction, pure and simple.
We definitely need nuclear power. Those solar-water-wind-geothermal sources you are talking about will not be enough to provide power for 12 billion people 40 years later. And our fossil fuels and oil will not last very long. Our only viable source of unlimited energy (relatively speaking) will be nuclear fusion derived from the hydrogen atoms that we extract from the oceans, once we master the methods to contain nuclear fusions through electromagnetic confinement. Since we don't have such capability yet, it's even more important that we promote the development of nuclear technology, not discourage it. The more developed our nuclear technology is, the less likely it is that an accident like Chernobyl will happen again.
So guys, support nuclear science. ;) It will benefit all of your children and grandchildren.

iran doesnt have 12 billion people in their country, since they dont have a nuclear power program developing wind or solar based power sources isnt a bad idea. Since they do have if nothing else a large amount of open space.
PS 12 billion people is approximately double the earths current population. With countries like china who have a billion at a very stable population rate

I guess its no use talking to you. To naive and stubborn to reason with.

I could say the same about you. Give me a good alternative... please I dare you. The world consumption of electricity is estimated to be roughly 17 trillion kW hour per year. Yeah, that's 17,000,000,000,000 KWh per year.
Let's take Solar One which is located in Nevada, it produces about 134,000,000 KWh. That means we would need about 126866 power plants like that. That would take roughly 203000 square kilometers. That is an area which is slightly smaller then the country of Romania. Now I know what you think, "we got a volunteer!", but as you see it will take a huge amount of space and there are simply countries that can't afford wasting space like that. As with most of the current renewable sources, they are unreliable and not accessible to all countries.
As much as I could tell you all "Ha ha, suckers, Norway has 99,9% of renewable energy, you suck", I understand that many countries are not in a position to exploit those resources. It's as simple as the fact that Netherlands do not have waterfalls which can be used to produce power.
Nuclear energy is really safe, idiots who are talking about Chernobyl, forget that it was the 1st generation NPP. Finland is now building the 5th generation NPP which actually has failsafe devices unlike Chernobyl (which had an obvious design flaw instead). Nuclear power is safe, clean, reliable and cheap, end of story.
