As per topic,raising fuel price,do you think switching to nuclear power is feasible?

yup, agree on the no...

 

why can't we just hook up alternators in the machines across all gyms islandwide? Maybe can save a bit here & there? hahaha...

Fusion will be the way to go.... not nuclear power definitely. I believe another 20-30years we will see cars with batteries running on electricity when fusion power come into place. Fusion power by then will become a relatively cheap power source

Which areas were contaminated by radiation?

 

In the night of 25 to 26 April 1986, the explosion of the reactor in Chernobyl, the greatest industrial disaster in the history of humankind, released one hundred times more radiation than the atom bombs dropped over Hiroshima and Nagasaki (30.1). In addition to the reactor's immediate surroundings - an area with a radius of about 30 km - other regions were contaminated, particularly in Belarus, Russia and Ukraine.

 

The contaminated territories lie in the north of Ukraine, the south and east of Belarus and in the western border area between Russia and Belarus (1.2). International estimates suggest that a total of between 125 000 and 146 000 km2 in Belarus, Russia and Ukraine are contaminated with caesium-137 at levels exceeding 1 curie (Ci) or 3.7 x 1010 becquerel (Bq) per square kilometre (5.1). This is an area greater than that of the neighbouring countries of Latvia and Lithuania combined. At the time of the accident, about 7 million people lived in the contaminated territories, including 3 million children. About 350 400 people were resettled or left these areas. However, about 5.5 million people, including more than a million children, continue to live in the contaminated zones (2.2; 4.1; 4.2).

On this topic, I feel Singapore can look into this because it would cut our needs on fossil fuel. Of course, we need better management and control than the Russians if we ever rely on nuclear.

 

Imagine islandwide chargers for cars and cheaper (maybe) electricity bills. Greener too.
