Nuclear disaster can happen at any time

UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon warned, the nuclear accidents of great caliber such as Chernobyl and Fukushima Dai-ichi are likely to continue, so close international cooperation is needed.

At a meeting in Kiev (Ukraine) on April 20 at the time of the Chernobyl disaster 25 years ago, Ban Ki-moon and many other experts said the rapid development of nuclear power plants is inevitable in an energy-hungry 'world' today.

' For many countries, nuclear power seems quite clean and is a reasonable choice when other energy sources are increasingly rare. But historical figures ask us to ask the question: Did we accurately calculate costs and risks? We have done everything possible to ensure people's safety. Unfortunately, we cannot see more such disasters , 'said Ban Ki-moon.

During a short visit to the location of the explosion 100km north of the Ukrainian capital, Ban Ki-moon proposed a strategy to improve nuclear security around the world, including strengthening the Atomic Energy Agency. International (IAEA) and more attention to 'the relationship between natural disaster and nuclear safety '.

Referring to the ongoing crisis at Japan's Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant, Ban Ki-moon said: ' Climate change will cause many unusual weather events. Our vulnerability will continue to increase . '

' Many countries will continue to see nuclear power as an important option for the future, and that's why we have to do our best to ensure safety,' said Yukiya Amano, IAEA director at the venue. The reactor exploded 25 years ago.

Now, the construction of a cover house (designed to exist for 100 years, which is expected to be completed in 2015) on a large scale for the reactor-containing building has begun to be implemented at this site, but the construction capital is still lacking.

Reportedly, a conference of international donors, which took place on March 19 in Kiev, mobilized $ 1.1 billion to build sheds and a storage facility for used fuel at reactors. stopped the operation of the factory.

However, participating countries only pledged $ 798 million in aid because they are facing many economic difficulties.

The Chernobyl explosion on April 26, 1986 created a radioactive cloud covering large areas of Europe, leaving hundreds of thousands of people in heavily polluted places to abandon their homes. The area of ​​30km radius is still uninhabited, except for some factory workers who have to work and some local people still decide to go home, despite the government's warning.
