So all being said, I'd hope the topic has a sense of direction in terms of:
1) The power generation by nuclear fission. Pardon but I've always think scientific discussions always work better with numbers.

2) Should countries begin to adopt nuclear energy? (For scoping purposes, let's focus on Malaysia first.)
If yes why so, and if not, why not? XD

*
1) yes... take E=MC^2 for one gramme of matter to fission, that would be 0.001kg x (3.0 x 10^8)^2=3.0 x 10^13Joule
think of that energy... compare that with rate.. how much energy can be produced by 1 kg of coal, gas, petrol?

2) in the world, france is the country utilize nuclear energy.. infact it also exprt its nuclear energy... Malaysia?? technology, knowledge and funding would be the main concern I think...

p/s I still remember one thing my professor said in UK.. "yeah... though nuclear also create hard (very very hard) to degrade waste, and need millenia to degrade biologically, well, its not our concern.. that`ll be our future generation`s concern ":x
