in Japan is still fresh. But what made it worst is when the nuclear power plant in Japan exploded. The event released massive amounts of radiation into the community and has infected a lot of people. Today‚ there is a proposal to open the Bataan Nuclear Power Plant. I admit that I am afraid of the fact that the scenario that happened in Japan might happen to us Filipinos as well.

approved of the funding for the nuclear weapon because of several events prior to his public announcement. One of the reasons was the fact that the United States had lost its nuclear supremacy when the Soviet Union successfully detonated an atomic bomb at their test site in Kazakhstan in 1949. Another reason why he decided to fund experiments for nuclear weapons is because the British and U.S. intelligence discovered that Klaus Fuchs‚ a top-ranking scientist in the U.S. nuclear program‚ was a spy for the

easily accessible‚ how it operates can be overlooked. We don’t have to know how it works as long as it works. Nuclear energy powers twenty percent of world energy needs‚ but is it really worth it? Is the energy worth it for disasters like Chernobyl or Fukushima? I believe that it’s not. Nuclear energy should not be utilized due to issues like radioactive water and radioactive waste. Nuclear power plants operate with highly pressurized‚ heated water‚ so what happens to this water once it’s spent? Contaminated
