No. Like fossil fuels, it has only a temporary positive effect and just creates more problems for later generations to solve.

What type of reaction is used to generate electricity in a nuclear power plant?
Nuclear fission, the splitting apart of the atom, is used to generate electricity in a nuclear power plant. Nuclear fusion, the joining together of two atoms to create electricity, has been tried, but, it only works for a few seconds at best, and it will not be a source of power until sometime in the distant future.
Does the UK need nuclear power stations?
Everyone needs nuclear power. All things considered, it remains the best and safest source of energy that we have available for the present and the reasonable future. There are a lot of alternative energy solutions out there, but they will not be sufficiently advanced in the near future to support our energy needs. Yes, there are risks, but they need to be put into rational perspective, including understanding the fact that the global risks of fossil fuel power are actually greater than nuclear.
Is nuclear the best way to power electricity?
In my opinion the best way is hydro power, but there is not enough of it for all purposes
Where does Canada Export t technology to?
The world, with some restrictions. Canada has sold technology to countries that have used it to our disadvantage, the best examples are nuclear power which has been used to make nuclear weapons.
Where is the best place in the US to build a nuclear power plant?
no where
Which is the best power plant among thermal and nuclear?
the rose
Where in the us is the best place to place a nuclear power plant?
no where
Why nuclear power is not the best way?
Bcoz production of nuclear energy form harmful radioactive elements.
Where is the best place to use nuclear?
As of today France uses nuclear power as 80% of their energy resource.
Why do we have nuclear power plants?
We have nuclear power plants to generate electric power without the generation of green house gasses. Yes, these complex systems pose risks, but we do our best to design and build them so they operate safely.
What are good sources of power?
Currently, the best source of power is nuclear. It is the cleanest, most efficient and powerful means of production.
Is nuclear power the answer for the future?
It is one of the answers. Nuclear alone cannot meet the continually rising electricity demands of the world. In addition, there is a finite resource of uranium on the planet which means that at some point in the future we will need a true renewable alternative. In the short term our reliance on fossil fuels will need to be reduced by all types of alternative including hydro, wave and tide, solar, bio, wind and nuclear. Ultimately the best hope will be to be able to produce a sustainable fusion reaction as powers the sun. As this only requires the elements in water we would have effectively infinite supplies of power. So far we are not even close although lots of peopleare working on it.
