Nuclear Power is extremely good and it is by far the best power source. It has NO pollution, and even the waste is not bad. 2010 technology has been advanced to actually reuse the waste (France uses this) so basically there is no waste because it is constantly reused. Also people say wind and solar power are better but they are not strong enough, or at least not sun, nuclear power is super energetic.
Opinion 2: Good
Opinion 3: good, and bad.. because of their toxic waste. they are good for uses like army ships or submarines. but for power.. we can do better, like wind, water, solar. even oil.

∙ 15y agoNuclear power is often thought of as dangerous because of the possible radioactive leaks and the waste produced, however, it is often dramatised. Please answer this question i would appreciate it for my coursework!!!! :)
Nuclear power is by far the cleanest method for the production of energy available in the short term. The massive Ado about the dangers of radio activity is blown out of all proportion by interests that have the sale of fossil fuels foremost in their mind. the mess left by these fuels also include radioactive materials covering many square miles of the earth in the form of coal slag, not to mention the hot house gasses. The fact is that the powers that are are primarily interested in control of the production of energy. the production of energy by individual house holders and in some cases industry is still a long way of because of the political power implications explaining the lackluster effort put in by governments in this area. So in the mean time the Earth is better of converting radioactive energy to steam then filling the atmosphere with harmful gasses for the sake of making a very few people very wealthy.

∙ 15y agoThe left should be for them as they are the ONLY true power that does not create CO2 long term. (Solar makes a great deal of CO2 during manufacture and has no power payback period)(Wind requires fossil plants to run thus zero savings of any kind)
The right should enjoy the power as it is cheap, safe and steady.
I can see no valid reason why everyone would not be pro nuclear if they bothered to look at the entire issue.
Did you know a nuclear sub runs for a decade on a dime size chuck of material?
The weirdest part of this issue is the waste issue. In the creation of the fuel cell, no radiation was created. If we were to dissolve this spent material and spread it over the same land we originally found it the overall change in radiation would be zero.
There could be reasonable ways to get rid of this material if the politicians would wake up and think and the left would allow logic you be used.

∙ 8y agoThe most important thing about nuclear power stations is that they do not produce any carbon dioxide. This is a greenhouse gas which may help to cause global warming. This is because they do not need to burn fossil fuels to make energy. Also, a lot of energy can be made from only a small amount of fuel- 1kg will make about 1000000 kilo-watt hours of energy, while fossil fuels (coal, oil and gas) make about 100 kilowatt hours perkg of fuel. Nuclear reactors also make a reliable source of energy. It won't stop in the middle of the night because there is no Sun, or anything like that.

∙ 14y agoMy opinion on nuclear power may vastly differ from others, but I believe it is a highly profitable and beneficial source of energy. Many people only look at the surface of this technology, only the name, even; immidiately associating it with the nuclear bomb and destruction. But, nuclear technology for the production of energy is very different than that of the production of nuclear bombs. For the bomb, you use the Uranium ore, which is a very tedious process. I guarantee you that there is no way you could make a bomb in a nuclear power plant. It has substantial benefits when one compares it to fossil fuel energy. If you compared the waste that was produced from burning coal in a lifetime and using nuclear power, there is a very unmistakable difference. The coal's waste could fit in a million railroad cars, stretching three and a half times longer than the distance between New York City and Los Angeles, weighing a whopping 890 pounds! And, this is only the solid residues! But, from nuclear power, the waste only weighs two pounds and fits in a soda can. But, nuclear power does have it's minuses, I'll tell you that! Though small, its waste is long lived-radioactive elements have half lifespans ranging from seconds to billions of years. The waste from nuclear fission is particularly located on the larger part of the scale. So, this is my opinion. You may base yours on mine, if you wish, or, you may stay with yours. But, whatever you do, consider nuclear power.
