In terms of humans and nature, it is apparent that both the internal nature and the external nature would both be damaged if something were to go wrong with a nuclear power plant. The external nature being the environment and the internal being people own internal nature. This insight is learnt from the article: “Introduction: Society, Nature and Enlightenment”.

Nuclear power generation throughout the world is rather diverse. Today, 30 countries have nuclear power generation capacity; the amount of electricity and energy coming from the numerous power plants varies a lot. There are roughly 439 nuclear power plants around the world. The expansion in nuclear power generation is centered in Asia. A total of 20 of the 35 plants under construction are in Asia.

On a global scale, the different countries all have their own opinion on the general topic of nuclear plants. A lot of countries have their own power plants such as France, Spain, Australia, Finland just to name a few. Although after the Japan earthquake the attention, thoughts and opinions to nuclear power plants has been magnified of late from all over the globe. Countries have been forced to rethink the strategy of their nuclear power plants and become more rigorous within security stress tests. Countries such as France have found themselves investigating their pro-nuclear stance, as question of sustainability and safety were raised after the disaster in Japan. A lot of question about nuclear power plants has been of major discussion recently.
