Thailand Democrats plump for no-nuke policy
by David Barkdull
It is great to see that the Thai Democrats are coming out against the
construction of nuclear reactors in the Kingdom and are making every effort
to secure safe, alternative energy sources to power future generations. If
the Democrats fail to stop the proliferation of nuclear power plants there
are several local labor pools and contractors that can be tapped to complete
construction by the year 2021. The cost of the design will be negligible as
there are several off the shelf designs available for just a few dollars on
the internet.
When construction is slated to begin in 2014 or 2015 the rail line from
Suvarnabhumi to Bangkok should be finished. All of those involved in that
project are familiar with the Thai construction process and could
immediately move as one finely tuned unit to begin building nuclear power
plants anywhere in the country. The newly hired quality control people are
very familiar with what to look for in inferior steel and concrete
structures. The all important nuclear reactor cooling system, required to
actually work to avoid a nuclear disaster, can be contracted to the company
that installed the cooling system for the CTX Scanners at the airport. They
know where they went wrong and probably won’t repeat their mistakes.
The Science and Technology Ministry as already sent a delegation to Austria
to observe the management of nuclear power there. No one needs to be
reminded of the scandal with Steyr Daimler Puch of Austria. 315 fire trucks
and 30 fire boats have been languishing unused at our docks for years while
the government in power gets to the bottom of this equipment for chickens
debacle. I mention this because by the time construction starts on the
power plants it would be a good time to start cannibalizing the
instrumentation from the unused fire trucks and boats and modify those
instruments for use in the nuclear reactor control rooms. Trained, out of
work, automobile factory employees would be a good choice for this project.
Certainly a win-win situation for them and the country.
Safety is job one at a nuclear facility. Science has progressed to the
point where all of our out of work garment workers could be utilized to sew
giant chemically treated covers for the cooling towers. These covers would
turn red as a warning for all to see that there has been a leak or meltdown
at the facility. As a failsafe backup method of determining a leak, animals
that have survived the Chiang Mai Night Safari could be penned up around the
facility. Loud sirens are so last year and often fail to work when needed
or go off on their own for no apparent reason. Good Luck!
