Nuclear technology, or nuclear power to be more exact, has been the subject of concern, both to those who see it as a viable source of energy and to those who see it as a potential menace. Two such debates have taken place recently, one using the television as media, the other using radio as the media. Below are the links, respectively.
With Dr Helen Caldicott of Australia on nuclear addiction in Asia - AlJazeera 101 East programme. The programme starts with a coverage of nuclear power in Indonesia.

With Mr Gurmit Singh of Malaysia on nuclear power programme in Malaysia in Current Affairs, BFM 89.9 fm business radio station. The programme is conducted in BFM89.9 studio in response to the government's decision on nuclear power programme in Malaysia.

Full acceptance -an impossibility

After several decades of service in producing electricity nuclear energy is still nowhere near becoming a darling of the public. Public acceptance has become a permanent must do, must have program for nuclear power activities; both in countries with and without nuclear in their electricity mix.
Why, one may wonder, is that so. Has not the contribution be seen, or has it not been made visible enough? Even in countries with nuclear power program, the percentage of opposition are sizeable. We can't expect everyone to be of the same view - hence they will always be the three groups: the yes, no, and may be groups. The question for newcomer countries therefore is: what is the percentage abundance of each of the group in the population thst is safe for making a concrete decision to go nuclear.
