  2. Is nuclear power really necessary in your country ? • My conclusion is • Nuclear will be an indispensable choice for a long time. • Nobody can propose any alternatives for a long time. Later somebody may can.

  3. Influence of Education

  4. Isn’t it my biased opinion? It’s me.

  5. Two premises • National security • Depletion of fossil-fuel • We must find sources which guarantee first of all. alternative energy national security

  6. Korea’s national security • Energy import: 97.3% • Oil inventory: 3 months • Nuclear inventory: 3 years

  7. Technology must be in time. • Nuclear is today’s hope. • Alternative energy is tomorrow’s hope. • Our role is to include nuclear energy into alternative energy by increasing public acceptance and safety.

  8. If really clean & reliable energy sources appear? • Technologies never die, they just fade away? • No! they are transformed. • The role of nuclear energy will not disappear.

  9. What kind of future is waiting for us? • World-wide forecast • Fossil-fuel crisis, ~2015 • Commercialization of H2, ~2020 • Young scientists must make ‘nuclear identity’. • Reliability, diversity, and advertisement

  10. What would be “dreams” for young scientists? • World-wide anti-theme • Life cloning • Nuclear energy • We need • a sense of responsibility, • self-confident manner, • wide and deep knowledge.
