The Advantage and Disadvantage of Nuclear Power
Introduction
Nuclear power is generated by using
uranium which is a metal mined in various part of the world. The first large
scale of nuclear power station was opened at Calder Hall in Cumbria, England in
1956. Nuclear power was very useful in our life.
Body of paragraph
Supporting point + evidences
Some military ships and submarines
have nuclear power plant for engine. Nuclear power produces around 11% of the
world's energy needed, and produces huge amounts of energy. It cause no
pollution as we would get when burning fossil fuels. The advantages of nuclear
power are:
-It costs about the same coal, so it is not expansive to make.
-It does not produce smoke or carbon
dioxide, so it does not contribute to the greenhouse effect.
-It produces huge amounts of energy
from small amount of uranium.
-It produces small amount of waste.
-It is reliable.
Opposing point + evidences
On the other hand, nuclear power is
very, very dangerous. It must be sealed up and buried for many years to allow
the radioactivity to die away. Furthermore, although it is reliable, a lot of
money has to be spent on safety because if it does go wrong, a nuclear accident
ca be a major accident.
Closing of paragraph
People are increasingly concerned
about this matter. In the 1990's nuclear power was the fastest growing source
of power in many parts of the world.
