Modern nuclear technology is VERY safe. The older technology was less safe of course, but even then there has only been one nuclear meltdown which has affected the public at Chernobyl, although a water reactor failed at Three Mile Island prompting its closing.
Nuclear energy is "clean" in that it does not release pollution or toxins into the air or water, although the warmed water released into an ecosystem can devastate the local environment.
Economically and politically it reduces our need for fossil fuels, namely oil, which for the most part is imported.
Interestingly enough, Three Mile Island is an example of how incredibly safe the current technology really is. Despite the several botched opportunities to control the reactor and prevent the situation, the system still never went into an uncontrolled melt down or emitted significant volumes of radiation. The problem at Three Mile Island occurred because man made several bad assumptions about senors during a test and failed to respond correctly at almost every turn. the safeties in place over rode the inputs by man preventing the classic "china syndrome".
What else can I help you with?
What are some good things about nuclear reactors?
They provide energy.
What is a good thing about nuclear energy?
It does not produce CO2.
What is good about a nuclear reactor?
Generates alot of energy for cities, town, large factories
What is the bad things about the nuclear power reactors?
there are no bad things about the nuclear power reactors
What is the examples of energy produce nuclear reactor?
If you mean energy produced by nuclear reactors, then "heat" and "light" would be the answers (Just think of the sun)
What are some good things about nuclear reactors?
They provide energy.
Good things on nuclear power stations?
create lots of energy and have almost no pollution
Is nuclear energy good for the environment?
No, nuclear energy is not good for the environment because after they get the energy there is nuclear waste which is radioactive and is NOT good for the environment.It can be if well controlled, as no carbon dioxide or other greenhouse gases are produced. However if things go wrong as in Japan now (March 2011) then it is definitely not good for the environment or the people who live in it.
Is fossil fuel nuclear energy?
No because fossil fuel is its own energy from decayed things just like nuclear has its own.
Only the positive things about nuclear energy?
Nuclear energy is a very clean source of electricity. There are no pollutants put into the air, and it is very efficient.
Types of things that use nuclear energy?
Examples of things that use nuclear energy include nuclear power plants for generating electricity, nuclear-powered submarines and aircraft carriers for propulsion, and radioisotope thermoelectric generators for space missions. Additionally, nuclear energy is used in medicine for cancer treatment and imaging through techniques such as radiation therapy and PET scans.
What is a good thing about nuclear energy?
It does not produce CO2.
Is nuclear energy good-?
I do not know what the word "good" means in this context. Nuclear energy is a natural phenomena and natural phenomena have no morality, they just are. What has morality is mankind and how/if he choses to use the phenomena nature has given us.
What is bad about nuclear energy?
Mainly that no good solution has been found to dispose of the nuclear wastes.
What can nuclear energy do to you?
Being exposed to nuclear energy could do many things depending on how much exposure Burns Radiation Poisioning Cancers Defects Death
Is earth an example of nuclear energy?
No. Earth is an example of many things, such as an uneven rock with water in its low places, but earth is not energy, least of all nuclear.
What is good about nuclear energy as a resource?
It is the cheapest form of energy and produces no carbon emissions.
