AMMAN --- December 28, 2010 --- Talal Abu-Ghazaleh Knowledge Society (TAG-Knowledge) hosted a seminar on “Nuclear Energy” which was attended by members of the Society and interested individuals.

The seminar, delivered by pharmacist Basel Burqan, director of Burqan Drugstores, shed light on nuclear energy in terms of definition, its negative effects on the area, in addition to alternatives to nuclear energy such as wind, solar and wave energies. He also tackled the costs of nuclear projects and its challenges.

While concerning the requirements for establishing nuclear projects, Mr. Burqan stressed the need to adhere to high standards of accuracy noting that the industrialized countries are more capable of absorbing and dealing with the requirements of the nuclear project management. The lecturer also discussed the obstacles encountered by the developed countries in this area in terms of costs and their negative effects on the environment.

The seminar came up with several recommendations, including, the support for clean energy projects instead of the nuclear power ones.
