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

“Nuclear energy research initially was concentrated on producing an atomic bomb for use in World War II. The development of nuclear energy for… the generation of electricity began only after the war ended in 1945” (Miller 1). Due to quick assumptions and little research‚ nuclear energy is thought of to be a safety hazard and used for weaponry and destruction amongst people. However‚ nuclear energy is more than mere darkness. People do not realize that there is more to nuclear energy than danger.

very ambiguous on the topic of nuclear power. You are planning on building a nuclear power plant in East Pennsboro Township. I think that the idea of this is grand and a fantastic way for us to incorporate different styles and methods of energy in our community. T.M.I. has been safely decommissioned and leaves us with the option to either stop building nuclear power plants‚ or proceed to building nuclear power plants. Many people are indecisive on whether they want nuclear power or if they want to boycott

During the last century‚ nuclear power has been established as a reliable source of energy in the major industrialized countries. Nuclear power plants provide about 17 percent of the world’s electricity. In the United States‚ nuclear power supplies about 15 percent of the electricity overall. Although no new plants are scheduled to be built in the United States‚ nuclear power is growing to be a popular producer of power. It has recently enjoyed a revival in attention and research due to the environmental
