Impacts of Nuclear Energy and the Lack of Strategic Governance for the Elimination of the Explosions and the Decrease of Collateral Risks

Not scheduled
Poster 5. Monitoring for Nuclear Explosions in a Global Context

Speaker

Julieta E. Sanchez C. (Universidad Juárez del Estado de Durango)

Description

This research performs an analysis of the flaws in governance systems and public policies concerning the prohibition of nuclear tests in the world, as well as their contradictions and impacts. Since there is a dangerous and contradictory discussion that many governments make of nuclear energy, this discussion does not adequately recognize the negative effects of nuclear energy and its explosions, which produce radioactive wastes with almost null elimination, and which have irreversible consequences for the planet and their ecosystems. Added to the collateral damage of uranium production and uranium enrichment. The lack of global governance and the absence of government policies in this topic involves a risk for world peace and security, and involve a challenge to the Comprehensive Test-Ban-Treaty Organization (CTBTO).
