To a large extent‚ I agree that the nuclear power is an unsustainable energy resource. Environmentally‚ water for cooling process of the nuclear plants is released into the sea. This causes thermal pollution and reduces water quality. Moreover‚ the radioactive wastes in the nuclear plants will release radioactive substances and contaminate the surrounding areas. Even if the waste is buried underground‚ there may be leakage‚ polluting the underground water and soil. Serious damage is done to the

The Nuclear Power Debate In 1953‚ nuclear energy was introduced into America as a cheap and efficient energy source‚ favoured in place of increasingly scarce fossil fuels which caused air pollution. Its initial use was welcomed by the general public‚ as it was hoped to lower the price of electricity‚ and utilise nuclear power for it’s potential as a resource‚ not a weapon. However‚ as people became aware of the long term dangers involved in storing nuclear waste‚ it’s use was criticised. Two
