According to the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development‚ 9000-33000 innocent people died as a result of the Chernobyl nuclear meltdown in Russia in 1986- the deadliest nuclear accident to date! Since the inception of nuclear energy‚ a sense of danger has always been inherent due to the extremely radioactive nature of uranium which if emitted‚ hangs over the land as the fog cloaks the English moors.

of nuclear power. The high Invest Costs would be the first challenge to face‚ The construction cost of a nuclear reactor is high; according to various studies‚ the total cost of building and making a nuclear power plant operational ranges between $8-17 billion(which is about 5~11 billion pounds). It implies a huge amount of investment from the beginning to the end — how to handle nuclear waste‚ or ‚more specifically‚ the Radioactive Waste. Radioactive Waste is a by-products of the nuclear power

Fusion can’t be used to make a bomb and that’s another thing we can eliminate as problems‚ fission is a big part in making bombs.

am all for nuclear power because of all the nuclear meltdowns and disasters not one has been caused by system failure‚ but rather through human negligence/ error or natural disaster. Also because nuclear Energy provides a constant source of energy‚ running 24 hours a day‚ 7 days a week‚ without disruption or limitations depending on weather.

Coal power vs. Nuclear power Safety & Efficiency With nuclear power came what was thought to be a more clean alternative to burning coal and other fossil fuels; Nuclear power does not produce nearly as much of the greenhouse gases as coal produces. People and society have given nuclear power a bad name‚ considering the amount of accidents that have happened. Although when you look at statistics it’s not as many as you would believe‚ or expect. When nuclear power is put head to head with coal

attack has begun. It was only with the advent of nuclear weapons that such a distinction could be made in peacetime. Before the arrival of mutually assured destruction (MAD)‚ the terms ‘deterrence’ and ‘defence’ simply referred to different time periods. Prior to an attack‚ military forces are supposed to deter an enemy. After the attack‚ when deterrence has failed‚ they are used to actively resist the attack. In light of the unacceptable costs of nuclear war‚ military strategists and planners have devoted

Nuclear power reactor operator’s schooling‚ availability‚ and pay can vary depending on where a person plans to work. To understand nuclear power‚ it is easy to found where it started.
