Nuclear energy in the United States is a very well self-regulated industry. US reactors are designed with negative-feedback, so a reactor that gets out of control naturally wants to shut down rather than meltdown. Even in the event of failure, US plants are designed with excessive amounts of containment and radiation is fully contained. Coal plants release more radiation into the atmosphere through burning of trace elements in their fuel sources than a nuke plant does.
Nuclear waste, on the other hand, is dangerous. When properly stored and isolated, its fine. However, most waste is stored on-site (instead of under Yucca Mountain, a proposed custom-built containment facility that got axed due to political reasons). There is potential for waste contamination as a result, but again the industry seems fairly well regulated by the NRC in this respect.
Of course, all of this applies to nuclear energy in the United States. Soviet countries ran more powerful but riskier designs that resulted in several notable accidents such as the Chernobyl disaster.
In short, the energy can be utilized safely and effectively. Harms from the system, like the harms of most sciences, result from errors in judgment and policy. In the US, nuclear energy is safe.
it is nuclear
nuclear
nuclear power plants
Bcoz production of nuclear energy form harmful radioactive elements.
It can be harmful - see Chernobyl. But in a well run industry the risks are very minimal. This is achieved by good design and careful operating techniques.
The energy of the nuclear fission is transformed in heat or electricity.The use of nuclear fuels is profitable on long term.
Its not the nuclear energy, per se, that is harmful, it is the ionizing radiation that comes from the nuclear energy that is harmful. Also, its not the pregnant woman that's the issue, its the developing fetus that's the issue. Ionizing radiation is extremely harmful to developing fetal tissue, because any errors introduced at this stage have a very risk risk of compromising the viability of the fetus. Last, and lets be crystal clear on this point... nuclear energy itself is harmful to no one. Its the "generation of nuclear energy", i.e. the reactor itself, the power plant itself, that is the issue, if, in any way possible, there is an issue. You would not want a pregnant woman working as a radiation worker any more than you would want to give a pregnant woman an x-ray.
Just like any other energy can be bad - fire can burn, electricity can shock... Nuclear energy can have harmful radiations that can damage without proper precautions. In addition, there are no very satisfying alternatives at present for disposing of nuclear waste, so proceeding with heavy nuclear energy development is a bet that the future will find good solutions.
I'm pretty sure nuclear has a bad affect on humans. It really depends on what you mean by Nuclear. If you mean Nuclear Energy, no. It is vital. If you mean Nuclear Waste, yes. It is deadly. If you mean the Nucleus of an atom. It is part you you.
Because it does not produce greenhouse gases
atomic bomb caused harm while the nuclear energy can be both harmful(radiation) and harmless(for electricity).
No. Its only waste product is the depleted core which is quite harmful.
