We are all used to "power on demand" which means when we do something that includes electricity, we expect something to happen. We can use "unreliable sources" such as wind turbines etc but just in case that plan doesn't come into place, we should have something else that will generate our electricity (a nuclear power station.) Governments need to do this!
Nuclear power is currently the only meaningful technology that will reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Unlike, for example, solar power where the energy investment equation can be negative when looking at the environmental impact. Until people are ready to give up dishwashers, washing machines and all the other labor saving devices then nuclear power is essential.
There are many arguements for and against nuclear power. The UK relies on nuclear power for 20% of its electricity. It dominates in some countries (78% in France). Although there are many concerns about safely displosing of it. Renewable energy is an alternative to nuclear power.

In my opinion yes
A
but in what way would the UK need more power stations i no that 20% of the UK`s electricity is nuclear produced but it can cause very harmful affects on som people and in sellafeild a small village near the power stations children were 78% more likely to get leaukemia.

It will do soon, as old stations are retired
Does New Zealand use nuclear power?
New Zealand is not against nuclei themselves, for we have several here. We do not consider the world is improved by nuclear weapons. Several 'nuclear powers' have been attacked, Israel, Russia, India, USA, UK but there has been no evidence of the 'nuclear deterrence'.
Does the UK need new new nucear power stations?
no we need slaves!! >=D muh hahahahaha >=D
How many nuclear plants are in New Jersey?
There are three nuclear power stations in New Jersey, Hope Creek, Oyster Creek, and Salem. The Salem plant has two reactors, the others have one each.
Is nuclear power economic?
Estimates for new stations show nuclear generating costs to be similar to new fossil fuel plants, and cheaper then wind or solar. See the paper linked below for detailed analysis.
Where are solar power stations in NZ?
there are no solar power stations in new zealand
Can you still build nuclear power plants in the us?
Yes, there are plans to build new stations in the US. See the NRC website www.nrc.gov for details of new licence applications.
What are some news on nuclear energy?
In the UK the government announced recently a programme of building new nuclear power stations. Interested suppliers are invited to submit plans for consideration. Building might start by 2011.
Does New Zealand need nuclear power?
I don't think so, and more to the point, New Zealanders don't want it
Did New Zealand invent nuclear power?
No, New Zealand did not invent nuclear power, but Ernest Rutherford, a New Zealand scientist, was involved in the original dicoveries that led to nuclear energy.
