I believe it is already safe, in the form of PWR, BWR, CANDU, and AGR types.
I'm pretty sure that nuclear energy is not as safe to use as solar energy is. I wonder if the Japanese people are anxious to escape their reliance on nuclear energy, now that they have experienced a serious meltdown event.
A major scientific concern over nuclear energy is how to ensure the safe handling and storage of radioactive waste, as it remains hazardous for thousands of years. Additionally, preventing potential accidents and minimizing the risk of nuclear proliferation are also key concerns in the nuclear energy industry.
Nuclear power is a type of energy produced by splitting atoms in a process called nuclear fission. This process releases a large amount of heat energy that can be used to generate electricity. Nuclear power plants use this technology to produce electricity on a large scale.
To produce nuclear energy, uranium or plutonium fuel is required. Nuclear reactors are needed to initiate and control the nuclear fission process, releasing energy in the form of heat. This heat is then used to generate steam, which drives turbines to produce electricity. Proper safety measures are essential to ensure the safe operation of nuclear power plants.
Nuclear energy has the potential to generate a large amount of power with minimal greenhouse gas emissions, making it a viable option for addressing climate change. However, the risks associated with nuclear accidents, nuclear waste disposal, and proliferation of nuclear weapons are major concerns that need to be carefully managed to ensure the safe use of nuclear energy.
Yes.
Toxic Waste is formed is by leftover energy from Nuclear Power Plants. That energy is not used because it has no charge. Then it gets drained in the sewers. Now, scientists are trying to find out how to get rid of it in a safe way.
It can be if plants are designed inherently safe and operated responsibly.
nuclear reactors are not very safe at all. the nuclear energy buisness basically went to crap after the three mile island accident, because people decided the risks outweigh the benefits
Nuclear energy, within the constraints of current technology, is the only viable and ecologically safe source of non-fossil power on the large scale.
I think it is pretty reliable these days, and safe, but many people do not agree that it is safe, and it is certainly expensive to build.

Nuclear Energy is already clean. The problem is the 'radio-active' waste from the reactor. A lot of research is going on to dispose of radio-active waste safely. One possibility is 'vitrifiction' and then burying it in deep mines.
There is no agency that officially monitors nuclear weapons around the world. Safeguards are based on the Treaty on Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons which was established in 1970. The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) was formed in 1957 and works to promote only safe use of nuclear energy. The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) works to make sure people in the United States are safe from issues related to nuclear energy use. The UN Office for Disarmament Affairs was founded in 1998 and has the goal of nuclear disarmament. Before the war in Iran, inspectors from the United Nations Security Council when to Iran to gather information on whether or not Iran was building nuclear weapons.
I believe nuclear energy is a very good energy source. Since we are running out of fossil fuels and our environment needs improvement, nuclear energy can meet these needs. Nuclear energy does not pollute, but it produces radioactive waste. This waste is taken care of in a safe way, not being exposed to people. If a person were to use nuclear energy for his or her whole life, the waste would be only one pound and would fit in a soda can; whereas with coal it would fill a line of coal cars from New York to California. And there was never an accident in nuclear energy that couldn't be prevented. Everything is extra safe.
Solar and wind energy is the most safe. Of the renewable energies, nuclear can produce nuclear waste and go critical, while hydroelectric power can displace many acres of land. Wind and solar energy produce no waste, do not pollutes, and do not displace.
I'm pretty sure that nuclear energy is not as safe to use as solar energy is. I wonder if the Japanese people are anxious to escape their reliance on nuclear energy, now that they have experienced a serious meltdown event.
