Question

give 3 reason that mske large scale use of nuclear energy prohibitive.

Answer 1

1. It releases harmful radiation as it decays. There is no method to get rid of the radioactivity of the waste or speed up the rate of decay. The waste must be sealed and buried in a safe location to prevent contamination of the environment and other people. Currently, there are no suitable locations that provide a permanent storage site for nuclear waste. 

2. The occurrence of accidents due to core meltdown, these accidents happen when the core overheats and radiation products are allowed to escape the building. This contaminates the surrounding area with radioactive material that is very harmful people's health, often causing cancer, deformation, disease and even death. 

3. Each year, every nuclear reactor is capable of making enough plutonium to build over thirty nuclear bombs. This is a problem if this material falls into the wrong hands
