Nuclear energy a good or bad energy?

According to proponents of nuclear power argue that nuclear power is a

sustainable source of energy which reduces carbon emissions and can
increase energy security if its use supplants a dependence on imported
fuels. But in the other hand, opponents say that nuclear power poses
numerous threats to people and the environment and point to studies in
the literature that question if it will ever be a sustainable energy source.

Nuclear energy is the energy in the nucleus, or core, of an atom. Atoms

are tiny units that make up all matter in the universe. Energy is what
holds the nucleus together. Nuclear energy can be used to
create electricity, but it must first be released from the atom. In nuclear
fission, atoms are split to release the energy.

The generation of electricity through nuclear energy reduces the amount

of energy generated from fossil fuels (oil and coal). Less use of fossil
fuels means lowering greenhouse gas emissions (CO 2 and others).They
emphasize that the risks of storing waste are small and can be further
reduced by using the latest technology in newer reactors, and the
operational safety record in the Western world is excellent when
compared to the other major kinds of power plants.

Despite the high level of sophistication of the safety systems of

nuclear power plants the human aspect has always an impact.
Facing an unexpected event or managing a nuclear accident we
don't have any guarantee that decisions we took are always the
best. Two good examples are Chernobyl and Fukushima. These
threats include health risks and environmental damage from uranium
mining, processing and transport, the risk of nuclear weapons
proliferation or
sabotage,
and
the
unsolved
problem
of
radioactive nuclear waste. They also contend that reactors themselves
are enormously complex machines where many things can and do go
wrong, and there have been many serious nuclear accidents. Critics do
not believe that these risks can be reduced through new
technology. They argue that when all the energy-intensive stages of

the nuclear
fuel
chain are
from
uranium
mining
to nuclear
decommissioning, nuclear power is not a low-carbon electricity source.

In conclusion, there are both good and bad things about nuclear energy,
but I strongly believe that nuclear power is a renewable and in the
future most countries would be working through nuclear energy.
