Yes.
It can be if plants are designed inherently safe and operated responsibly.
I'm pretty sure that nuclear energy is not as safe to use as solar energy is. I wonder if the Japanese people are anxious to escape their reliance on nuclear energy, now that they have experienced a serious meltdown event.
nuclear reactors are not very safe at all. the nuclear energy buisness basically went to crap after the three mile island accident, because people decided the risks outweigh the benefits
Nuclear energy, within the constraints of current technology, is the only viable and ecologically safe source of non-fossil power on the large scale.
A very safe form of energy that has a bi product of Di-Hydrogen Oxide, you know... WATER
I think it is pretty reliable these days, and safe, but many people do not agree that it is safe, and it is certainly expensive to build.

I believe nuclear energy is a very good energy source. Since we are running out of fossil fuels and our environment needs improvement, nuclear energy can meet these needs. Nuclear energy does not pollute, but it produces radioactive waste. This waste is taken care of in a safe way, not being exposed to people. If a person were to use nuclear energy for his or her whole life, the waste would be only one pound and would fit in a soda can; whereas with coal it would fill a line of coal cars from New York to California. And there was never an accident in nuclear energy that couldn't be prevented. Everything is extra safe.
Solar and wind energy is the most safe. Of the renewable energies, nuclear can produce nuclear waste and go critical, while hydroelectric power can displace many acres of land. Wind and solar energy produce no waste, do not pollutes, and do not displace.
creates electrcity.....uses coal and oil which is what we live on.....helps develop nuclear weapons to protect ourselves.....very clean, safe, and nonexpensive.........find cures to deadly diseases creates electrcity.....uses coal and oil which is what we live on.....helps develop nuclear weapons to protect ourselves.....very clean, safe, and nonexpensive.........find cures to deadly diseases
I believe it is already safe, in the form of PWR, BWR, CANDU, and AGR types.
