The Advantages and the Disadvantages of Nuclear Energy

Nuclear Energy is commonly offered as at alternative to overcome the crisis of energy. The debate of whether the use of nuclear is an appropriate choice has not come to an and. Some people agree the utilization of it because of its benefits. Some others, however disagree because of its risks to the environment.

Those who agree with the operation of nuclear reactors usually argue that nuclear energy is the only feasible choice to answer the ever-increasing energy needs. In their opinion, the other sources of energy : oil, coal, and liquid natural gas are not renewable and save, while nuclear energy can be sustainably when produced in a safe way.

However, people who disagree with the use of nuclear energy point out that the waste of nuclear products can completely destroy the environment and human lives. A meltdown in a reactor, for example, usually result in the contamination of surrounding soil and water. Take for example, the blow up of the nuclear reactor at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Station in Russia twenty years ago. The serious contamination imperiled people and the environment severely.

It is obvious that nuclear energy should be avoided cause it really endangers the environment but what about a less polluted energy instead of nuclear energy? Are there any alternative energies to overcome the crisis of energy?
