Come on ,children,give it a rest...
Since when being Turkish or Greek was considered an insult???

Those two nations are proud nations and proud people in their own ways....

Can't we find something to be proud of in our own nation??? The nation of Cypriots??? Let the Island of Love,of Aphrodite,live up to her name...Let us show some empathy and compassion,at least here on this Forum...

Has anyone figure out which part of Turkey is NOT a seismogenic zone and safe enough to have a nuclear power plant? And where will they bury the radioactive waste?

[humanist]

we opting for a unified cyprus, Nikitas and therefore european turkey without nuclear power. Better option me thinks

Why not an off-shore facility, buy an old US Aircraft Carrier and plug it into the grid.

After all, the RoC likes this kind of approach so that people are not upset by having to live next to something (de-salination plants, natural gas storage, etc.).

Apart from becoming a prime target for terrorists, the swishing about from rough seas might cause some spills

Also, imagine the nightmare of a containment operation should a meltdown occur (cf Chernobyl ).... there would be little incentive for efficiency for a start, and it may prove impossible to encase it all with concrete.

The South coast,where they are planning this nuclear power station is NOT
a seismogenic zone,as far as I know Nikitas.... But I truly hope they abandon this stupid idea...That area needs a nuclear plant like a hole in the head...

Bir,

Cyprus gets earthquakes, and so does southern Turkey. If I remember there was a big one ten years ago in Diyarbakir.

Going nuclear rather than renewable is a trap, it looks financially sound till you calculate the costs of safely storing waste for several thousand years. But everyone is buying into this power production trip.

The other thing which is probably the most important is that nuclear reinforces the centralised production of power, and keeps the consumer hostage of the power companies, whereas PV and wind are by nature diffuse and often owned by the consumer.
