Yes. But the risks can be managed, and we have nuclear power stations that testify to that. Certainly there have been accidents that speak to the dangers. People died of radiation sickness in some accidents. But there are a number of operating nuclear plants around the world that are critical right now and generating heat to make electricity. The cost-benefit ratio appears to be something that governments and (the majority of) society are willing to accept in allowing these plants to go online and operate.

∙ 15y agoMainly because of what happened in Chernobyl: this publicised the dangers of nuclear power. It's because if there was an accident, whole regions can be made uninhabitable for years, and people can get radiation poisoning. But, with improved technology, these accidents should not occur.

∙ 11y agoNuclear power can be very dangerous if not contained and controlled within strict guidelines. A leak of radiation can harm any living being, as too much radiation can cause mutations in a cell's structure, leading to cancer, or genetic deformities.

What isdifference nuclear fission and nuclear fission?
The difference between Fusion and Fission is that Fission is easier to do and produces more energy than fusion reactions. However fission can be dangerous and is used in Nuclear reactors. Fusion however is safer and produces less energy but safely. It is quite difficult to cause a Fusion reaction however.
What is the splitting of an atoms nucleus into two smaller nuclei is called?
