Yes, because nuclear power stations induce energy from a nucleus. That nucleus being from the most common element called Uranium. Unlike power plants that burn coal which is a fossil fuel which leads to globabl warming.... Nuclear power stations dont BURN anything. they just establish nucleuses in a 'chain reaction'. where more and more nucleuses mutate and doubles and doubles whilst giving out TONS of energy. nuclear is a clean process. But it is extremely expensive to build and it would take a long time to make the nuclear reactor and apparatus... they need to be patient. :)
If you had a large enough cavern I suppose this could be done
Yes, it provides cleaner more efficiient energy
Some people are against Nuclear Energy, they say that we should not build more Nuclear Power Stations because we should spend more money in projects to save the environment. It is true that Nuclear Energy stations don't produce much energy, nevertheless the one produced is radioactive and very dangerous for several thousands of years. Placing this radioactive waste underground isn't right; due to a leaking it might contaminate the earth for future generations. Accidents are mainly caused by a human error, like the one in Chernobyl (Ukcrane). As a result, people died and might die.
This is a matter of opinion. Currently I do not live in the UK. However, There are potentials and dangers of Nuclear Power. If there is a scarcity of electricity and the population trends are rising you may need to add some more power to your local grids.
Yes, there are plans to build new stations in the US. See the NRC website www.nrc.gov for details of new licence applications.
yes
Well, fusion bombs are, but fusion reactors should not be (if we can build them).
Because nuclear weapons are the most deadly of all weapons and can kill hundreds of thousands of people at once. Also, people will always get suspicious if a country is secretly making nuclear weapons e.g. Iran and USA. IF one country wants to build nuclear weapons then their neigh ours would want to too
build more nuclear plants
India cannot invent the nuclear bomb because it has already been invented. But, should they build one is another question. The Indian government has one answer and Pakistan has a different answer.
Your questions asks for an opinion. My opinion is no. The knowledge of how to build a nuclear weapon is out there. There are too many people with different views and values for nuclear weapons to just go away.
Build more nuclear plants
