Atomic Power Station - Fatal Challenge to Life.

I've been always insisting that realization of the necessity to abandon atomic power 
with its present technical level should be considered as an indispensable condition of 
our survival. This realization, however, is a rather difficult process. It requires 
overcoming narrow departmental stereotype of thinking. People who are unable to 
systematically analyze socio-economical and ecological situation can't easily 
overcome this stereotype. The more so, as for many years they have been, persistently 
told about the age-long deficiency of energy in our country and that the improvement 
of the well-being depends first of all on the increase of electrical energy production 
which is impossible without the building of atomic power stations.
For a long time, day by day people have been told that atomic power is allegedly an 
integral part of modern civilization and nearly its main achievement which will give 
us a chance to survive. Before the Chernobyl tragedy atom-mongers and other active 
popularizers and propagandists of APS made the community sure that it was on the 
threshold of "golden age", that "peaceful"atom" would be an inexhaustible source of 
energy and would be used for the benefit of people. And that was not a mere 
propaganda. An idea of forced increase of atomic power was made a principle of 
state policy.
