Disadvantages : (I believe the disadvantages outcome the advantages and that Nuclear power is not a necessity we will survive without it.)
*Nuclear energy produces radiation which consists of subatomic particles that penetrates deep inside the body and initiate cancer
*Nuclear power has the potential to be very dangerous if it is put into the wrong hands. When the fission process occurs inside of a nuclear plant, it is controlled and stabilized. When this same process is used in an uncontrolled environment, a nuclear bomb is created and nuclear power can become a huge form of terrorism.
Even in situations where the nuclear energy is stable, accidents may occur. A plant meltdown at the Chernobyl reactor caused a huge spread of radiation and danger to all of Europe. If meltdowns like this occur at bigger plants, then even more harm can be done to the world. After the nuclear hit in Japan, survivors gave birth to disgusting, revolting and sometimes deformed children. >>> this what we are talking about.
*if out enemies get a hold of our plants they could use it against us with the amount of pletonium that we use to make our power.
*Pletonium, the biproduct of nuclear reactors, has a half life of about 10 thousand years and is therefor hard to dispose of.
*Nuclear power plants are very expensive to build
*Uranium is not renewable and can lead to environmental problems through the mining and processing.
*Harmful radiation has had negative affects on people and animals that have included deformation, disease and even death. A cancer caused by radiation can also develop, but the more extreme affects require an enormous amount of radiation exposure.
