Disadvantages of Nuclear Power:
· Nuclear Power generates radiation, which can be harmful or even fatal to infected people.
· A nuclear meltdown can occur which will release massive amounts of radiation into the community.
· Extremely radioactive nuclear waste is produced by nuclear power plants. This stuff can't be just thrown out. The US plans to move all its nuclear was to an underground dump by the year 2010. Currently it is stored in the plants.
· Nuclear waste dumps can spontaneously combust without warning.
· Nuclear reactors only last for about forty to fifty years, so where they are extremely productive, they break down and are costly to replace.
· There are international dangers too. Some reactors produce plutonium which can be used to make nuclear weapons. If the whole world were to use these, they would have unlimited access to nuclear weapons.

This is a disadvantage of nuclear power. But there are even more disadvantages for coal or natural gas power generation. The technology will come to figure out what to do the waste.

Short term effects of nuclear power?
The short-term effects of nuclear power can include the generation of electricity with low carbon emissions, providing a reliable source of energy, and supporting economic growth in countries with nuclear power plants. However, there are concerns about the safety and environmental risks associated with nuclear power, such as accidents, waste disposal, and the potential for nuclear proliferation.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of nuclear poer plants?
The Advantages-The Energy is more efficient and cleaner for our air and it can be less expensive The Disadvantages-Nuclear Power Plants can be dangerous if not taken care of, There's is only certain areas geographically that you can put Power Plants (Away from Water) and you have to find a place to store all of the Nuclear Waste. (It has to stay underground for atleast 1000 years before it can be removed)
