Greenpeace, 2012, ‘Nuclear Power: dirty, dangerous, and expensive’, Greenpeace
International.

In ‘Nuclear Power: dirty, danger and expensive’, Greenpeace mentions that nuclear power can
produce negative effects on many aspects of life. The article is aimed at everyone, especially
people who live near nuclear evacuations, care about the environment, and are
environmentalists around the world.

Greenpeace’s article talks about the negative issues caused by nuclear power, such as being
dangerous to human health, destroying the environment, and taking a lot of money to exploit.
In detail, firstly, the organization mentions the danger of nuclear power by mentioning the
nuclear disasters in two big cities—Chernobyl and Fukushima—that impact negatively on
people who live in the 30km zone and the income of our citizens. Moreover, human and
institutional behavior are key factors in reactor accidents. Secondly, they examine that nuclear
reactors cause burdens for people's difficulties, such as people's health being threatened,
environmental pollution occurring more, and people spending a lot of money to repair the
damage. Thirdly, although it takes too much money to build nuclear reactors, it can cause
long-term environmental trouble. Finally, Greenpeace concludes that nuclear power is not the
solution to climate change because of its ineffectiveness and waste of a lot of money.

Greenpeace’s article on the dangerous effects caused by nuclear power is successful.

However, the organization only focused on the bad side of nuclear power throughout the entire
article. In addition, the authors do not offer solutions to the problem they mentioned but only
focus on condemning the dangers of nuclear energy. Nevertheless, the Greenpeace
organization has shown the practical evidence to prove their arguments effectively because
their evidence is extracted from real events. Additionally, the article is written in logical,
academic language and presented clearly.

In conclusion, Greenpeace’s article presents the potential dangers of using nuclear energy.
Nuclear power will bring many benefits when used safely and appropriately; otherwise, it will
have dangerous consequences.
