Every 10th Atomic Plant is facing a risk of Earthquakes

Most of countries having Nuclear Reactors do not possess capability dealing with an emergency situation

In Japan, after having the most dreadful earthquake as a result of Tsunami which causes Nuclear crises, have paved way to apprehensions regarding the safety of Atomic Reactors in the world.

According to a recent research many Atomic Reactors in the world are facing the danger of Tsunami or earthquakes and it is doubted that this situation can duplicate itself like Japanese “Foko Shimari Reactor”, which would be more disastrous because the their capability dealing with disasters is far more less than Japan. Be ware that Japan possesses the best capability of dealing with disasters.

According to the research of Maple Craft there are 76 Atomic Plants in Japan, Taiwan, China, South Korea, India, Pakistan and America, located at places which can be affected by Tsunami. In different countries of the world there are 442 Atomic Power Plants, in which every 10th is facing the danger of earthquake. Be ware that most of these plants are situated in Japan, America, Taiwan, Armenia and Slovenia.

The auditor of Maple Craft Mr. Helen Hoj says that although the Atomic crisis of Japan is the first incident of its type but other countries can face this terrible situation. The Atomic Plants that are situated in the Southern Coastal Line in South Korea, Taiwan, South China, India, Pakistan and America or which are under consideration of installation in these areas are considered sensitive as regard to Tsunami. On the other hand the Atomic facilities of America, Taiwan, Armenia, Iran and Slovenia are likely to be affected by earthquake.

According to the Professor Kath Berahnam of Imperial College London, Japan is the most modern country in regards to technology but they are also facing problem in dealing with the crisis of Atomic Plants. Therefore, apprehension is natural for rather less developed countries for their Atomic Plants situated in dangerous zones. Nuclear safety experts refer to the Russian Atomic Plant situated 30 K.m. away from the Capital of Armenia.

In December, 1988 a powerful earthquake hit in the North West of Armenia, in which 25 thousand people were killed. Next year the Metsamore Atomic Plant had to shut down due the dangers of earthquakes. Although one Plant of this Reactor has been made useless, however, the other is operational. International Atomic Energy Association (IAEA) has been monitoring the safety protocols of this Plant for a decade; however, apprehensions are still present.

According to World Nuclear Association the present Nuclear Plant of Metsamore is a source of apprehension for European Union and neighboring country “Turkey” situated just 16 kms away from the plant. Many bodies are raising voices for shutting down this Reactor, but Armenia who depends much on this plant for the supply of Energy says that it will remain operational until the establishment of an alternate.

In the recent years, the IAEC has recognized the dangers of drastic natural calamities; therefore, they established the International Seismic Safety Centre in 2008. They also reviewed their safety measure after the situation occurred in the Japanese Fokoshima Plant in regards to Tsunami and earthquakes. Be ware that last month rising Atomic crisis due to Tsunami has once again made the arguments start regarding Nuclear Safety. As a result several countries including Italy, Switzerland and Germany have stopped the installation of their Atomic Plants.

Another Nuclear expert James Acton says, the real problem is that we cannot assume the disaster caused by natural or human fault, that’s why it is essential to inspect the designs and safety protocols of every nuclear reactor in the world. In his opinion it is necessary to provide the information and technology to rather less developed countries in order to save the world from Atomic radiation. Be ware that IAEA already provides technical aid to the less developed countries in regards to nuclear safety protocol.
