Andrzej Strupczewski, Chairman of Nuclear Safety Commission at National Centre for Nuclear Research, Poland: Nuclear power is safe and reliable, yet people are afraid of it. Nuclear power is the first industry that has taken care of its waste and has successfully managed radioactive waste separating it from human environment without any accident – and yet people quote the “problem of nuclear waste “ as insoluble and protest against nuclear power in the name of countless future generations. ... The change in the attitude to low dose and low dose-rate radiation will bring positive changes in the discussion of radwaste management and facilitate final acceptance of Yucca Mountains repository.
