Question

nuclear energy conclusion

Answer 1

Nuclear power plants use “nuclear fission” (the process of splitting an atom in two). “Nuclear fusion” (the process of combining atoms into one) has the potential to be safer but has not yet been developed to operate within a large power plant.Nuclear energy comes from uranium, a nonrenewable resource that must be mined.Every 18 to 24 months, a power plant must shut down to remove its spent uranium fuel, which becomes radioactive waste.Nuclear power plants generate about 20% of U.S. electricity.Nuclear energy is being used in more than 30 countries around the world and even powers Mars rovers.

Answer 2

Utilizing Nuclear Energy is needed if humanity is to continue its advancement. It has great potential to be quite a useful and beneficial part of humanity’s growth and development in the decades to come. The problem is when we lose our respect, caution, and give in to our naivety and arrogance, a devastating disaster awaits us, and it is callous in the destruction it causes. It is extremely important that Nuclear Power plants be held to stringent safety standards. Nuclear weapons such as America’s “Trident D5” and Russia’s “RS-28 Sarmat” need to be well maintained and kept secured to prevent disasters. Despite these risks, we should not rule out the use of Nuclear Fission, and potentially Nuclear Fusion in the future, as impractical. The ability to treat disease and generate tremendous amounts of electricity with relatively very little fuel is not insignificant. Their applications to science and mankind’s future space travels as well as more diverse applications such as nuclear desalination plant is too great to be overlooked. As a world, it is imperative that we work to expand the use of nuclear energy, all the while remaining cautious of its destructive potential.
