The negative impacts of nuclear energy
The negative impacts of nuclear energy
I. Introduction:
As non-renewable sources are falling deficient, people turn to alternatives instead, including wind energy, solar energy,... Another energy industry has also developed when scientists find the way to bombard the atom to release the energy stored inside, which is called nuclear energy. The great finding of this alternative source has turned a new leaf on human life. Despite its amazing benefits, nuclear energy has posed as a threat, [negatively] affect us by many ways
II. Disadvantages of nuclear energy
1. Nuclear Accidents :
If a meltdown, an accident where severe overheating of the nuclear reactor results in the melting of the reactor's core, happens, a nuclear power plant could release radiation into the environment, which causes Some of the symptoms include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and fatigue. People who work at nuclear power plants and live near those areas are at high risk of facing nuclear radiations.
( The Chernobyl nuclear accident is, by far, the worst nuclear accident in the history. Different wrong decisions during the management of the nuclear plant caused a big nuclear explosion.
Morever, Fukushima, the second disaster in the history nuclear accident, the operations done by the staff were highly questionable)
2. Radioactive Waste :
Radioactivity naturally decays over time, so radioactive waste has to be isolated and confined in appropriate disposal facilities for a sufficient period of time until it no longer poses a threat. Radiation exposure can also cause cancer, birth defects, and other abnormalities, depending on the time of exposure and amount of radiation. High-level radioactive waste from nuclear reactors can be hazardous for thousands of years.
3. National risk :
Nuclear energy has given us the power to produce more weapons than to produce things that can make the world a better place to live in. We have to become more careful and responsible while using nuclear
