order to produce an equivalent amount of energy to a nuclear power plant. As of about ten years ago energy sprawl must be heavily considered since the United States believes it is possible to reach a 20% overall energy production from wind by 2030‚ in order to meet that goal 186‚000 wind turbines must be built. Such a large amount of wind turbines that can be 328 feet tall would take up 25‚000 square miles of land‚ when compared to the nuclear energy equivalent of 100 plants on 100 square miles of

According to the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development‚ 9000-33000 innocent people died as a result of the Chernobyl nuclear meltdown in Russia in 1986- the deadliest nuclear accident to date! Since the inception of nuclear energy‚ a sense of danger has always been inherent due to the extremely radioactive nature of uranium which if emitted‚ hangs over the land as the fog cloaks the English moors.

Meaning Nuclear weapons tests are experiments carried out to determine the effectiveness‚ yield‚ and explosive capability of nuclear weapons. Throughout the 20th century‚ most nations that developed nuclear weapons tested them. Testing nuclear weapons can yield information about how the weapons work‚ as well as how the weapons behave under various conditions and how structures behave when subjected to nuclear explosions. Nuclear testing has often been used as an indicator of scientific and military

of nuclear power. The high Invest Costs would be the first challenge to face‚ The construction cost of a nuclear reactor is high; according to various studies‚ the total cost of building and making a nuclear power plant operational ranges between $8-17 billion(which is about 5~11 billion pounds). It implies a huge amount of investment from the beginning to the end — how to handle nuclear waste‚ or ‚more specifically‚ the Radioactive Waste. Radioactive Waste is a by-products of the nuclear power

These were the words spoken by the United Nations Secretary General‚ the Honourable‚ Ban Ki-moon during the opening of the 2010 Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty Review Conference- 65 years after the first thermonuclear bomb was tested by the United States.

am all for nuclear power because of all the nuclear meltdowns and disasters not one has been caused by system failure‚ but rather through human negligence/ error or natural disaster. Also because nuclear Energy provides a constant source of energy‚ running 24 hours a day‚ 7 days a week‚ without disruption or limitations depending on weather. The are are so many reasons why you should be on board with nuclear power. Just like there are so many reasons why you should be against nuclear power.The existing
