Nuclear power stations produce large amounts of energy through nuclear fission rather than through chemical burning. Hence, the carbon emission that causes the greenhouse effects can be reduced. On the other hand, many environmentalists oppose the use of nuclear energy, arguing that it s dangerous and difficult to dispose of its radioactive waste. Radioactive substances give out radiation that is extremely harmful to living things. Diagram 5.2 shows the radioactive waste barrels. Sepertl semua sumber tenaga, tenaga nuklear mempunyai kelebihan dan kekurangannya.
