"It's ridiculous that time and time again we need a radioactive cloud coming out of a nuclear power-station to remind us that atomic energy is extraordinarily dangerous"
- Pierre Schaeffer
About this Quote
This quote by Pierre Schaeffer is a commentary on the dangers of nuclear energy. He is pointing out that it is outrageous that we need a tip of the dangers of atomic energy in the kind of a contaminated cloud coming from a nuclear power station. He is indicating that we should currently know the possible threats of nuclear energy and that we should not require a pointer in the kind of a radioactive cloud. He is suggesting that we must be more conscious of the potential risks of nuclear energy and also take even more safety measures to guarantee that it is used safely. This quote acts as a pointer that nuclear energy is an incredibly powerful as well as dangerous form of energy which we need to be aware of the potential risks and take the necessary steps to ensure that it is made use of safely.
"First, I want to pay tribute to Diana myself. She was an exceptional and gifted human being.
