nuclear energy debate?

Well it’s only a tiny bit more efficient than electric power and it still produces just as much waste.

The waste it produces is very often radioactive and very harmful to both humans and the environment. The problem is, we can’t just chuck it out. We have to dispose of it in a safe way so that it doesn’t harm ppl and this is often very expensive or simple impossible. We have tons of barrels of waste just lying underground because there is no way to get rid of it and soon it’ll take up so much space, what happens there is just not enough space?

Also one of the most important arguments is that it gives opportunity for terrorists. Terrorists can use the fuel from some nuclear reactors to make bombs, and the science behind the nuclear reactor is pretty much the same as the science behind the bomb (eg Hiroshima and Nagasaki, research those). Also look up Iraq and uranium enrichment.

There is a danger of nuclear meltdown – if this happens it can release enormous amounts of radiation in the air and harm a lot of ppl. Research the effects of the Chernobyl Disaster.

It presents a risk to the ppl working in a nuclear power plant, they can be harmed by radiation (nuclear reactors emit gamma radiation and other types as well). Radiation can cause cancer.

That’s all I can think of. Good luck!

Best suggestions about nuclear energy:

#1 Do we really want another Chernobyl? It happened once, it CAN happen again.

#2 What happens to the nuclear fuel rods after having them run through a nuclear reactor? Do we really want more environmental problems or nuclear weapons?

#3 The development of nuclear energy has caused many people and many businesses to demand more power for their day to day needs. Why has energy conservation always taken a back seat?

#4 Alternate energy sources. So many exist, but because nuclear energy is in use, very few people are willing to find out if something could be better.

I had to do a case study in this for Physics. i’ve got not accomplished it yet, yet those are lots of the flaws I blanketed for the against argument (risks): Nuclear power flowers being available terrorist objectives mess ups like Chernobyl Radioactive Waste, which maintains to be radioactive for a protracted time. Nuclear weapons. it may create weapons of mass destruction. learn those (because of the fact it is your artwork not mine) and then in all hazard comprise them on your debate. additionally, be certain you learn lots of the advantages to Nuclear power, so as that if somebody else in the class who you’re debating against will strengthen a favorable component, you would be able to respond. it’s going to get you greater advantageous marks!
