“Nuclear is like fire: you cannot « uninvent » fire, and neither can you do so with nuclear power! But it is essential to separate civilian nuclear applications from military ones. Nuclear weapons are bound to disappear, but nuclear power is the human race’s future. Nuclear energy poses undoubtedly threats, but if you face them without being superstitious, they are not terrifying. Nuclear is too often stigmatized for political reasons by triggering people’s fears.” Georges Charpak, physicist and Nobel prize winner
