Maria Schottenius: Bad times for nuclear power, Kristersson and Busch Thor

While a large proportion of the Swedish population sits positioned in front of the HBO series ”Chernobyl” and see how people bleeds to death from the inside by radioactive particles as they come close to a meltdown in a nuclear power plant in Ukraine in 1986, writes Ulf Kristersson and Ebba Bush Thoor on DN Debate a frälsningsartikel where they espouse nuclear power in all keys: ”Sweden must act for the common EU-rules, which approves new nuclear reactors” and ”In energy research should resources be allocated also to " nuclear research” etc etc Bad timing for the right-wing parties this time.

was a disaster. The totalitarian system in the Soviet union with lies, cover-ups, and a brainwashed, uninformed generally made matters even worse. But look at the fukushima incident in 2011, it was the result of an earthquake, not carelessness or ignorance. Nuclear power is dangerous, and the radioactive waste left to future generations for thousands of years.

Watch the extremely well made tv-series, Kristersson and Busch Thor, and take that with nuclear power a lap. This time, blowing the winds in the wrong direction for you. As they did for the people in the Baltic countries and the countries around the Baltic sea at the kärnkraftshaveriet in Chernobyl, in the spring of 33 years ago.
