Pros
- mass produced
- cleaner and reduce the amount of CO2 released
- cheaper
- save the exploitation of other natural resources
Cons
- expensive in the construction
- require high expertise
- risky in case of accidents
Nuclear power is often used in developed countries Some people believe that compared with other sources, it is the best one in terms
of cost-effectiveness while others claim that it is extremely dangerous
in case of nuclear leakage or explosion I partly agree with the
statement for the following reasons
It is, first, argued that nuclear energy is mass produced Solar or wind energy which is derived from natural resources proves limited while
Trang 2nuclear energy is created in great quantities by applying high
technology Nevertheless, so as to build nuclear power plants
demands a great amount of time and effort It is estimated to take more than a decade to finish a plant whereas governments, at the same time, put all effort in training experts to run it High technology and expertise are required in the completion of nuclear power plants,
in other words.
Second, the belief is that this source reduces the amount of carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere in comparison with its counter-part and saves the exploitation of other natural resources According
to scientific statistics, the rate of carbon dioxide discharged from burning waste and hydro power is ten times as high as that from
nuclear energy Besides, once nuclear power dominates, there is no need for governments to try to make use of other limited natural resources like wind, solar or water Yet, in case of unwanted
accidents, risks caused by nuclear explosion are far more hazardous Chernobyl in Russia is a telling example Thousands of people suffered respiration problems while the next generation were faced with birth defects Environmentally speaking, the entire area near the explosion was submerged into radioactivity environment, leaving people unable
to live
In brief, nuclear energy has its both pros and cons Depending on economic condition and long-term plans of each nation, government can use it or apply others to meet the demand of their citizens
