Identify the tenses from the passage below :

For decades, no new nuclear reactors have been built in the United States. But
given the sudden surge in new license applications, construction could start within the
decade. Electric utility companies project an increased demand for electric power over
the next few decades. Those concerned with the operation of coal-fi red power plants
point out that nuclear reactors emit neither greenhouse gases nor air pollutants such as
sulfur dioxide and nitrogen monoxide. And citizens recognize that nuclear power plants,
unlike solar and wind installations, may offer a practical solution because they run in the
dark and in the absence of wind.
People across the globe share the dream of clean and sustainable sources of
energy for the future. Should we build more nuclear power plants as we move to achieve
this? The answer depends on both whom you ask and when you ask them. Some long-
time opponents of nuclear energy are now in favor of it. Similarly, some who once
supported it are now questioning its societal costs, both to our current generation and
those to come.
In part, the opposition to nuclear power is a result of the tremendous baggage that
the word nuclear carries. The associations are disturbing: the bombing of Hiroshima, the
radioactive fallout from atmospheric weapons testing, the tragedies of Chernobyl, the
hazards of high-level radioactive waste, and the ultimate threat of nuclear annihilation.
Probably no other topic in the physical sciences is more likely to provoke such an
emotional response.
At the same time, people recognize the benefi ts of nuclear medicine. These days,
you probably know someone who has undergone radiation therapy for cancer or who has
had a diagnostic test with radioisotopes that bypassed both anesthesia and surgery.
Perhaps even a classmate has had a thyroid scan using radioactive iodine.
Those who support or oppose nuclear power today have excellent tools with which
to make compelling arguments. For example, a “cradle-to-cradle” analysis offers a more-
inclusive picture of the economic, environmental, and societal costs of running a nuclear
reactor, by taking into account what happens from the moment the uraniumore is mined
to the ultimate fate of the spent nuclear fuel. A cradle-to-cradle analysis not only includes
the high economic costs of construction but also the eventual decommissioning of the
nuclear reactor.
Whether citizens (and politicians) support or oppose nuclear power, they still must
deal with some real and pressing questions. If not nuclear, how are we going to produce
electricity in the years to come? Do the benefits of nuclear power plants outweigh the
costs and risks? How should we deal with the wastes that nuclear reactors produce? Can
we prevent the diversion of nuclear materials to nuclear weapons? Is nuclear power
sustainable? As was the case in earlier chapters, science and societal issues are tightly
connected. In a moment, we will launch this chapter with an overview of nuclear power.
But before we start, we ask you to consider your own position.
