The Advantage And Disadvantage of Nuclear Power

Is generated by using uranium which is a metal mined in varieties part od the word. The firs large scale of nuclear power station is opened at Calder Hall, in Cumbria, England in 1956. Some military ship and submarines has nuclear plant for powering the engine. Nuclear power produce around 11% of the word's energy. It causes no pollution as we what get when burning fosil fuels. The advantages of nuclear plant are as follow:

• It costs about the same coal, so it is not expensive to make.
• It does not produce smoke or carbon dioxide, so it is does not contribute to the greenhouse effect.
• A small amount of it can produce a huge amount of energy.
• Produce small amount of waste.
• Material process
• It is reliable. On the other hand, nuclear power is very dangerous. It must be sealed up and buried for many years to allow the radioactivity to extinct.
• Although it is reliable, a lot of money has to be spent of savety because if it does not, a serious nuclear accident can happen.

People are increasing concerned about this matter. In the 1990s, nuclear power is the fastest growing source of power in many parts of the word.
