Yes, but there are risks associated with every type of power plant. Its simply a matter of understanding those risks and dealing with them. In the case of nuclear reactors, we design whats known as "defense in depth", so that any hypothetical failure, or sequence of failures, including some improbable failures, can be handled.

What does scram mean for a nuclear reactor?
In dealing with a nuclear reactor SCRAM stands for Safety Control Rod Activator Mechanism. Nuclear reactors can be quite dangerous.
What is the bad things about the nuclear power reactors?
there are no bad things about the nuclear power reactors
Functions of nuclear reactors?
One of the primary functions of a nuclear reactor is to maintain a chain reaction. Also, nuclear reactors are meant to provide a steady flow of neutrons.
Will thorium powered reactors be built?
Yes, thorium was used as a fertile material in nuclear reactors.
Where is fission used by humans?
In nuclear reactors, there are over 400 operating power reactors world wide
How are nuclear reactors used in nuclear reactors?
Well, as nuclear reactors are nuclear reactors, nuclear reactors are not used inside nuclear reactors.
Why can nuclear reactors be dangerous?
Nuclear reactors are dangerous because they emit ionizing radiation that damages the body. Nuclear reactors rely on fission so when the atom splits Uranium or Plutonium emits alpha particles, beta particles, x-rays, and gama rays. The most "dangerous" is gamma rays since they can cross though anything but layers of concrete and/lead
Is nuclear power unsafe?
Nuclear power reactors are potentially dangerous, we have to make them safe by careful design and operation
What process do nuclear reactors use?
Nuclear reactors use nuclear fission.
What does scram mean for a nuclear reactor?
In dealing with a nuclear reactor SCRAM stands for Safety Control Rod Activator Mechanism. Nuclear reactors can be quite dangerous.

Nuclear reactors are potentially dangerous and could not be allowed in vehicles on normal public roads
What nuclear reaction is currently used to produce nuclear energy in nuclear reactors?
We use nuclear fission in nuclear reactors to tap nuclear energy.
What type of nuclear reaction is used in modern day nuclear reactors?
Current nuclear reactors rely on nuclear fission as their nuclear reaction.
