Christianity and nuclear energy

The author is of the opinion that the ethical aspect suffers no rival points of view. From that he concludes the necessity of a fair public discussion about the rank and urgency of the goods, values, and interests in hand. He calls for a moratory: before the final option on the future way of energy supply the scientific and economic competitional advantage of the strict course of large-scale technologies must be balanced. In order to render medium-scale technologies comparable at all from the economic and technical point of view alternative technology research ought to be promoted for a couple of years under the same financial conditions and with the same expenditure of personnel.
