"Mr President, with all the nuclear power stations we have in Europe, we are all in greater danger than we think – in Denmark, too, which has in fact declined to adopt nuclear power. Take the Swedish nuclear power station, Forsmark. The person formerly responsible for security there, Lars-Olov Höglund, has said of this power station that it was pure luck that it did not go into meltdown at the beginning of this August. He calls the situation the most dangerous since Chernobyl. It was also a week before either the Swedish public or operators of similar power stations in other countries were made aware of the event.
In general, details of the safety of nuclear power stations and of the requirements imposed on them by the authorities are not available to the public. That this is the case in Sweden’s otherwise very open society is, of course, also somewhat alarming. There is a lack of information where nuclear power is concerned. The important lesson to be learned from this episode is that nuclear power is not safe and never will be. It creates huge problems and, to top it all, undermines democracy. We must ensure that we put a stop to this development as quickly as possible."@en1
