US terrorism, the emergence of new security concepts and threats from the nucleus of everyday life
On September 11th, we witnessed a terrible terror that we believe is real. The World Trade Center, a symbol of the wealth of the United States, collapsed at one moment in front of the eyes of people around the world and tens of thousands of people were killed. We express our deepest condolences to the innocent victims and the American people who have been tragically devastated before this cruel terror.
The terrorism has shocked not only the United States government but also the world over the unprecedented collapse of the mainland of the United States, which has been proud to be the world's largest military empire under previous security concepts. In the meantime, it was suggested that outside enemies, such as the BMD plan, could not be maintained for peace and safety by increasing military spending alone. This is because defense through armament competition is essentially a competitive increase in intrinsic risk, and it has shown that the true danger situation is always around us in an unpredictable situation. Now, the concept of'security' needs a shift, and it is only a scenario with a low risk of probability, and we must abandon the arrogance that humans can always control by force.
Beyond the collapse of the trade center, the dangers of the terrorist incidents are no longer a virtual world, but tensions of reality. Although not well known, the statement following the surge in oil prices by the DOE (US Energy Agency) on the 17th clearly shows that the occurrence of nuclear accidents in the unpredictable accidents of war or injustice is not just a story in a movie or novel. The statement reiterates that on the day of the incident, the boundaries of various large-scale power generation facilities, especially nuclear power plants, were triggered in an emergency and could be safely passed without incident. This is evidence that the stability of the commercial use of nuclear energy, which has been consistently asserted by the nucleic acid industry and energy policy makers, is a fictitious evidence. Is to do.
According to the Financial Times on the 19th, shortly after the terror, the U.S. nucleic acid industry hurriedly triggered an emergency situation in 103 nuclear reactors in 66 locations across the country. An unidentified helicopter appeared over a nuclear power plant, causing an alarm, and two fighter planes were dispatched to surprise the residents.
It is fortunate that this situation did not lead to an accident, but the series of situations says that everyone is concerned that the nuclear power plant can always be weaponized and that this threat is realistic. In addition, it could cause a situation where nuclear power plants are seriously considered as targets of such ground or air attacks.
No matter how we use state-of-the-art technology and focus on safety in paper design, we cannot guarantee safety in unpredictable situations like this one. An official from the US nucleic acid industry was overlooked in the safety evaluation standard, saying, "We cannot guarantee that we can defend these facilities against all attack scenarios, but there has been a federal standard assessment of whether the reactor can withstand air strikes." Indirectly admits that the part exists.
According to an article in the Dong-A Ilbo on the 18th, an official from the Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power Plant said, “It is practically impossible to prevent a medium-sized airplane from being installed in the basement or by constructing a concrete wall thicker than 10m to prevent terrorism.” "It is the best." In addition, the wall thickness of the containment building in Korea's nuclear power plants is 1.22m with a light water reactor such as Gori Uljin and Wolseong with a heavy water reactor of only 1.07m.
Although the current nuclear power plants have been made with great effort to ensure safety, they have only loopholes in the unpredictable risk of not knowing when, where, and how, because they are only considered for existing general combat scenarios or disaster situations. Therefore, even if it was designed to withstand the impact of one or two light aircraft, such as a fighter plane, it may be concerned about even the tragedy such as "Chernobyl", the worst disaster in human history when a large passenger aircraft collided like this one.
The Korean Peninsula is a small land. Because most of South Korea, including Seoul, is included within a radius of 300 km from the Gwangju, Wolseong, and Gori nuclear power plants in Korea, it is never safe for us to say that nuclear power plants do not exist in our residential areas.
The nucleus is not a property that can be sufficiently managed with human rationality, regardless of whether it is a power plant or whatever. Nuclear technology is not a matter of management, and as a being itself, it cannot coexist with life. Nothing on the tabletop clarifies us.
