People fear that when they stop using or destroy a power plant that it might explode and then dangerous materials will be released into the sky causing so many deaths, you couldn't imagine how many!
If your worried about global warming I would say to use solar power, unplug chargers,t.v's e.t.c (This also reduces fires) and also switching off lights...
What else can I help you with?
Can you use nuclear energy at home?
It is not practical for you to have your own nuclear power plant at home, however, it is perfectly practical for you to use electricity that has been generated in a nuclear power plant and then transmitted to your home through power lines.
Why shouldn't nuclear energy be used?
The argument against nuclear energy is that radiation is very dangerous and we have already had a series of huge catastrophes caused by radiation leaks from nuclear power plants, particularly the Chernobyl accident and the Fukushima tsunami; there was also a less serious but still disturbing incident at Three Mile Island. It is difficult at this point to claim that nuclear power is perfectly safe and that there will be no more accidents, after there have been so many. Still, every form of power generation has its advantages and disadvantages. I personally am not convinced that nuclear power shouldn't be used. But clearly, if we are going to use it, we have to be very careful about it.
Should you still use nuclear power?
Nuclear power is very good source of energy to turn to. The only problem is the storage of nuclear waste, that is left over after the nuclear reaction the power plant. The energy obtained from the nuclear power plant is very clean burning and more KJ/mole energy.
Why do other countries use more nuclear power than the US?
the usa stoped using nuclear engery for the fact that it is far to dangerous. a exsample could be the chernoble insadent where a nuclear power plant went off. the area is still radioactive to this day. this in just my theary on it but that could be the most likely resion we dont use it any more.
What kind of nuclear resource does a nuclear power use?
What kind of nuclear resource being used in nuclear power depends on what kind of nuclear power is being used. For nuclear fusion, we use tritium and seawater to obtain deuterium for a DT reaction. In nuclear fission, we commonly use uranium ore.
Is nuclear power dangerous to humans?
All sorts of nuclear radiation are dangerous. To use nuclear power safely the radiation in the reactor core must not be allowed to escape. Provided this is achieved, it is a safe industry. The health records of those who work on nuclear sites proves this.

Why cant homeowners use thorium to use as energy to power up individual homes and stay off the power grid?
Thorium is not a fissile material; and also is dangerous and expensive to have a nuclear reactor in each home.
What decade did the commercial use of nuclear power begin?
The commercial use of nuclear power began in the 1950's

What energy do nuclear power plants create?
They use nuclear energy to produce power for the grid.
In what decade did the use of nuclear power begin?
It could be argued that the use of nuclear power began in the 1950's when a nuclear reactor in the Idaho desert supplied electric power to a local community.
What is one dangerous use of nuclear fission?
Its use in atomic bombs for military purposes.
Who can use nuclear power?
Technically, anyone who lives near a nuclear power plant and, i suppose, gets permission, can use nuclear energy as a cheaper alternative to electricity
Why dont people use nuclear power plants anymore?
A lot of people use nuclear power daily throughout the world.
