Is It Right For Us To Be Using Nuclear Power?

Many people think that using Nuclear power is going to do some the world good by reducing C02 emissions but this is simply not true. There are of course many arguments for and against?

There Is Not A Chance Of Spillage

According to many governments there is a very tiny chance of a leak every happening thanks to inventions such as measurement level. This will tell them when the waste is getting to the point where it could potentially leak out and will set of an alarm. This means that an accident is almost impossible to happen because someone will always be on site to stop it.

Do We Need The Power?

The real question that needs to be asked is, how much do we actually need to rely on nuclear power? The real fact is that a mere 4% of all of out power in the UK comes from nuclear means, is there not another way we could get this power? Greenpeace and other similar organisations will of course say that we can use great renewable energy sources like the sun, wind and tides, is this a good thing though? Wind turbines are very noisy and are a bit eyesore but the main thing is that they are better than nuclear power that's for sure. Is this something we want tourists to see as they are flying in?

They should not allow any more nuclear plants to open but I do not see why they should even bother trying to close the current ones they have all of the solids level switch and ultrasonic level controls that they need and for a disaster to happen the government would be in deep, deep trouble so I am almost certain that will not happen.

More plants also gives terrorists more chances to hit us hard and destroying a nuclear power plant could kill thousands.
