Its drawbacks

A majority of experts disapprove with the idea that nuclear energy will preserve the environment as well as prevent green house emissions (1998). Nuclear power is devoid of carbon-free energy. Realistically nuclear energy is impractical, more costly and significantly dangerous in comparison to alternative energies. Nuclear power is not a credible source, proven by ‘accidents’ such as Chernobyl . Nuclear waste is difficult to manage and extremely hazardous, one of the bi-products can be used to produce nuke. Due to the eminent risks and public disapproval on using nuclear energy, energy companies propose to increase in their products energy efficiency and further investigate less hazardous alternative sources.

Issues regarding proper standards kept regarding nuclear power come into question. For example if nuclear power is used to generate electricity, this would create an excess of plutonium. Plutonium can be used to make nuclear weapons, thus allowing the general public easy access to derive plutonium for personal use, affecting the safety of society. Therefore, new laws, city plans and systems must be put into place to dispose plutonium safely. This in will sldo affect the economy and the environment due to the increased concerns of nuclear power. For this reason, non-proliferation treaties of nuclear weapons are more so important. Managing the waste will require new technologies, including notable adaptations for nuclear energy to run safely. Thus, nuclear power should be ruled out as a main source in order to create a peaceful and sustainable environment for future generations to come.
