Nuclear Power

Since the end of the last century, the development of modern technology and science has played a significant role as measure to resolve energy crisis and global warming issues which resulted in life sustaining remedies and causes of mass destruction. However, many scientists agree that the earth’s fossil fuel supplies are dramatically depleting and this challenge will be a meaningful hurdle for future generations. Therefore, many countries may need to find new productive energy sources in order to tackle this problem. Many proponents of nuclear power suggest that the benefits of nuclear power could be capable of alleviating climate change crisis due to its cost-effective and capability to supply the world’s energy needs. In contrary, anti-nuclear experts may claim that nuclear power has an inadequate safety to be a general energy source owing to the radioactive waste and the possibility to be used indiscriminately as devastating weapons. This essay will argue that nuclear energy will not be a sustainable energy source of 21st century for three main reasons. These include high costs of generating nuclear power, health effects of radiation and long-term impact of radioactive waste on the environment and the public's concern about safety of using nuclear energy as well as comparing to renewable energy of solar power and wind power.

Since the end of the last century, human society entered into the age of large energy consumption.Total of energy consumption is foreseen to increase year by year due to an expansion of industrial revolution and population growth in the developing countries. As a result, nuclear power has become an efficient energy sources which is popular in many countries. In order to reach the balance between industrial development and environmental protection, governments have been provided responsibility to find new renewable energy sources to replace traditional fossil fuel. Many proponents of nuclear energy believe that nuclear power
