Nuclear Power is becoming more and more popular in the search af alternative energy supplies. In my opinion, although using nuclear power raises some serious concerns, it also has its benefits.
In the first place, the advantages of nuclear power are found in the areas of environment and health. Nuclear energy emits no acid or greenhouse gases. It’s a clean, safe and economical energy source that doesn’t contribute to air pollution, global warming ar acid rain. Furthermore, it is reliable. Nuclear power plants need little fuel, so they are less vulnerable to shortages because of strikes of natural disaster. Besides, nuclear power is one of the safest methods of producing energy. There are a number of safety mechanisms that make the chances of of reactor accidents very low.
On the other hand, nuclear energy has its drawbacks. Firstly, there’s expense. Mining and processing uranium is costly, as is the building and operation of the power plants. Moreover, although nucleae fission does not release harmful gases, it does produce harmful waste products. This radioactive waste must be stored for as many as a thousand years before before it is safe.
All things considered, I strongly believe that, though nuclear power has bad points, its advantages for humanity are numerous and we all should do our best to use it.
