Due to 3 mile island, Fukishima, and Cherynobl events people have a somewhat irrational fear of being killed or irradiated by a nuclear disaster. For the hundreds of nuclear plants around the world, and the very low level of accidents, the risk of accidental exposure remains on the order of 1 in a few million per person per year - very few of those being fatal.
It is an irrational fear due to the fact that people are not as afraid of red meat or autmobiles which kill, maim, and injure tens of thousands of people per year. Rationally a person should fear the top 20 things that kill your age and gender group. Not the 1842nd thing - radiation exposure.

What produces energy for a nuclear power plant?
The energy source for a nuclear power plant is the fissioning of nuclear fuel, which is normally uranium.
Nuclear energy is a useful source of power but has its disadvantages what is a disadvantage of nuclear energy?
it produces dangerous waste. apex
Is nuclear power a renewable or non-renewable source of energy?
yes it is
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.
What is the source of heat in a nuclear power plant?
The source of heat in a nuclear power plant is the release of binding energy (Strong Atomic Force) that hold nuclei together.
What Power plant that uses uranium as a source of energy?
Uranium (or plutonium) is a source of energy (nuclear fuel) in nuclear power plants.
What produces energy for a nuclear power plant?
The energy source for a nuclear power plant is the fissioning of nuclear fuel, which is normally uranium.
What is the examples of source of energy?
nuclear power,fossil energy and alternative energy.
Which country uses the most nuclear power as a source of energy in EU?
The world countries that uses nuclear power as a source of Energy are United States, France, Japan
2 facts about nuclear energy?
Nuclear power is the major source of energy among all nations.
What is an example of converting nuclear energy to electrical energy?
nuclear power plantnuclear battery (SNAP thermoelectric power source for space vehicles)
French main source of energy?
nuclear power plants
Is Philippines use nuclear energy as source electricity power?
No.
Nuclear energy is a useful source of power but has its disadvantages what is a disadvantage of nuclear energy?
it produces dangerous waste. apex
What energy source provides France with most of its power?
nuclear power plants
How can you produce energy in future by nuclear power plant if there is no source?
The source of nuclear power is the nucleus of an atom; any atom. As long as there is mass in the universe there will be a source of nuclear power. Even if in the future we run out of the radioactive material we currently use to fuel nuclear power plants, it would be foolish to assume that we will never again be able to harness nuclear energy in another way.
What are examples of using uranium as an energy source?
Uranium is a nuclear fuel for nuclear power reactors.
