Poser over nuclear plant

THE Bernama report that the United States has offered to help Malaysia build a nuclear power plant “US: We’ll help build nuclear plant” (The Star, Oct 26) has caught the attention of Malaysian Physicians for Social Responsibility, who have worked hard to convince the Malaysian Government that nuclear power is not a wise or viable energy option.

The history of nuclear power has shown that it carries inherent risks and is not affordable, economically viable, socially acceptable and environmentally sound.
