Thinking about nuclear technology

Nuclear technology has been one of the most amazing discoveries of the twentieth Century.  Electricity production, medical treatments and weapons are the typical uses for this technology. This process to produce energy has had some consequences too. Atomic wars threats, radiation accidents in nuclear plants, and bad management of nuclear waste are some of the consequences of the government’s corruption and ambition of power.   

For that reason, it is necessary to consider clear and specific rules for the development and application of nuclear technology. These rules should be applied to every country, banning every action to built nuclear weapons or when some evidences of neglect in the management of the atomic technology will have appeared.  Furthermore, some developing countries without a democracy government have the intention to start a nuclear career. It is a significant danger to the safe of the humanity.

On the other hand, many cancer patients have been treated with nuclear medicine, obtaining excellent results. Many lives have been saved. Moreover, countries like Finland have improved his nuclear technique to produce clean electric energy with a carefully management of nuclear waste. In this case, there is a perfect balance between the correct uses of the natural resources and their impact in the environment.

I consider that nuclear technology could be banned for an international and neutral institution that applies the same rules for every country, tihs only in the cases where the goal to reach could be the damage of the humanity based in the construction of weapons or by the negligence of his implementation in the other cases.

Nuclear technology with the correct rules of security and the carefully management of the waste could be the future to produce clean energy without an impact to the environment and the cure for many cancer patients.

Our Man in Havana (Graham Greene)

This espionage thriller is the third book in English language that I have read like a part of the advanced module from British Council called "Language through literature".

The story is developed in Cuba (Havana). When the teacher told us the name of the module book, “Our Man in Havana”, in some of the classmates felt a strange sensation of curiosity. It was because another book, The old man and the sea by Ernest Hemingway. It was developing in Cuba too. By the way, the last one was a little boring for us, a group of beginners in the study of English Literature, but it was a good experience to learn and improve our language skills.

At this moment we have finished to read the second part of “Our man in Havana”. The story is changing the way, and the main character, Mr. Wormold, a former vacuum cleaner salesman, who at first part of the book looked like a sincere and honest man, right now he is lying to M16s officers. The information that he send is an invention of his creativity. It seems like Wormold is entering step by step in some issues that will make difficulties in his live and in the live of his child too.
