What are the dangers of nuclear power and weapons?
Nuclear power has no dangers. It is the opposite. Nuclear energy is a clean source for power production. It is even cleaner than solar energy. Power generation from nuclear energy is cheaper than that produced from solar, wind, gas, oil, and wind energy sources. Nuclear radiation from nuclear power plants is 100 times less than nuclear radiation from coal fired power plants. Nuclear weapons are of mass destruction nature due to emitted nuclear radiation, heat, and pressure air waves.
Does the nuclear power station provides cleaner more efficient energy?
The main advantage of nuclear power is that it does not depend on manufacturing carbon dioxide from carbon fuels, as gas, oil and coal power plants do, so nuclear power plants save millions of tons of CO2 being dumped into the atmosphere.
Do you think the benefits if nuclear power outweigh the potential dangers?
Yes, it is cheaper and cleaner, except when it explodes due to an unpredictable event.
Does nuclear power station provides cleaner more efficient energy?
It's definitely cleaner than fossil fuels. It produces very little pollution, just waste, which can be stored safely. As for whether it's more "efficient", you need to define what you mean. Nuclear power plants use far smaller amounts of fuel than fossil plants.

What is a cleaner type of a power plant?
nuclear
Is there a need to build nuclear power stations?
Yes, it provides cleaner more efficiient energy
Why do you use solar?
it is a cleaner source of energy so it can replace nuclear power and does not melt down like in japan

What power used in many European countries that land lack coal enabling their cities to have cleaner air?
nuclear energy
Which nation has threatened world security in recent years because of its interest in becoming a nuclear power?
Vietnam
Why would the government be interested in the development of nuclear power energy?
It is much more cleaner and lasts a lot longer than fossil fuels. The only problem is where to put the nuclear waste.

What responsibility do you have to prevent the mining of uranium?
An open question exists as to why an individual would want to prevent uranium mining. Until a better, cleaner way to generate electric power comes along, we are stuck running what we have (including nuclear power plants). Our focus needs to be developing and moving to those cleaner power generation technologies. Uranium is a necessary nuclear fuel, and our efforts should be aimed at safety of nuclear facilities and at environmental issues surrounding uranium mining (and all mining, for that matter).
