Sebastian's government Piñera his country intends to embark on a nuclear program behind public opinion and politics, while growing global tension by the Chernobyl Japan. The press reported that agreement would be signed by Jaime Salas, director of the Chilean Nuclear Energy Commission, and Alejandro Wolff, the U.S. ambassador. "Would", not "will" because objections have arisen in hours, even from the ranks of government policy.
The biministro of Energy and Mining, Laurence Golborne, was summoned to a Senate committee on Thursday describing Piñera's energy plans. "We're going to ask Golborne to rule on his statements in favor of nuclear energy and also that we explain more about the signing of these agreements with both France and the United States," said Senator José Antonio Gómez, party Radical Social Democratic Party (PRSD). From the ranks of government, the senator from the Independent Democratic Union (UDI), Jaime Orpis said that "clearly, following what happened in Japan, the discussion about nuclear energy in Chile is complicated."
Voices against nuclear energy
subsidiary Greenpeace urged not to sign the agreement on Friday. Its director Matthias Asún said that "given the grave situation facing the Japanese population by a nuclear emergency, advance vigorously oppose the bases to bring nuclear energy to Chile" and said that what happened in Fukushima help "raise awareness of the harmful and dangerous is nuclear power. "Greenpeace announced that promote a campaign, along with other organizations to avoid signing the agreement with the United States. In a similar vein delivery of the NGOs Terram and, of course, many politicians opposition to Piñera.
"We demand open government negotiations and agreements on nuclear cooperation, so that the public is properly informed about energy decisions in which the authority works," says a statement from Terram.

Investments are made, agreements are signed and makes announcements as if the issue was settled, "said Diaz.

He said the disaster in Fukushima, "overturned the technological model that we had to use that energy in our country." He said that nuclear energy is uncontrollable, while in the country and there is everything to implement renewable energy projects unconventional: "are the resources, technology is ... Only the political will. "
global discussion
Japan The crisis sparked a global debate on nuclear energy. U.S. question Obama's bid for nuclear power and there are doubts about the control system since the accident at Three Mile Island in 1979 began the decline of nuclear energy.
Fukushima reactivated opponents of nuclear energy in India. A similar agreement it signed with the U.S. that country in October 2008 opened a market of 270,000 million for the reactors atomic. Now 45 nations vying for contracts from the Nuclear Suppliers Group, composed of 45 nations line up for contracts. The most important was signed in December 2010 with France's Areva, but it sparked a controversy over the site chosen to build a wind power of 9,900 megawatts, the largest in the world, in the western state of Maharashtra. "In addition to our opposition to nuclear power, objected to the choice of venue for the Konkan coast, which lies within a seismic belt," the activist told IPS Laxminarayan Ramdas, one of the leaders of the Coalition for Nuclear Disarmament .
Angela Merkel announced that Germany would turn off the seven oldest nuclear power plants to assess their safety, in response to the crisis in Japan and especially the massive protests against nuclear power, two weeks before regional elections. Disconnecting affects "the plants that were built before 1980, while the remaining nine will continue to work. Nuclear power plants generate 23% of German electricity, while renewables cover 9% percent. The oldest of which dates back to 1974 off.
