-------------------------------------------------------



U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon warned Wednesday that the world must
be prepare for more nuclear accidents on the scale of Chernobyl and
Japan's Fukushima Daiichi plant, but he declined to call for an end to
nuclear power. Ban Ki-moon made the comment at a conference in Kiev,
Ukraine, marking the 25th anniversary of the Chernobyl disaster.

U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon: “We have to have a sharper focus
on the relationship between natural disaster and nuclear energy. We have
to have review on cost and benefit of nuclear energy. And lastly we also
have to have a serious review of how we can strengthen nuclear energy
safety and how we can protect nuclear technology from nuclear
terrorism."
