 The Advantage and
Disadvantage of Nuclear
Power
 Issue

Nuclear power is a kind power supply that is

generated by using uranium which is a metal mined in
various part of the world. Nuclear power becomes the
answer to produce clean and efficient energy that will
make this world better. However, not all people agree
with that. Some of them believe that nuclear power
supply is dangerous. Pro-contra of building nuclear
power supply becomes a major topic to discuss among
society.
 Supporting Points

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 plant are
as follow:
1. It does not produce smoke or carbon dioxide, so it
does not contribute to the greenhouse effect.
2. It produces huge amounts of energy from small
amount of uranium.
3. It produces small amount of waste.
4. It is reliable.
 Contrasting Points

On the other hand, nuclear power is very, very

dangerous. If the nuclear power supply is leak off or
blow up, the radiation can bring harm to any living
being surrounding. Nuclear radiation is deadly which
can make people physically defect. 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.
 Recommendation

Nuclear power is a better alternative energy

supply to replace fossil fuels energy supply. However,
nuclear power is also dangerous if it is not built
properly. In conclusion, nuclear power is the best
answer to fulfill our needs of clean and efficient energy
which is sustainable in the future. Government should
make careful constructions and good maintains to make
nuclear power save.
