With the rapid development of modern world, governments around the world are faced with varying degrees of energy shortage problems.Therefore, both emerging regions and developed countries are doing their utmost to meet this great energy challenge.
Nuclear power, as a clean source of energy, has recently gained tremendous popularity among countries who are in urgent need of energy resources. Proponents like Environmentalists for Nuclear Energy consider it a safe and environmentally friendly energy source since it does not emit carbon dioxide and other equivalent greenhouse gases,which would have otherwise resulted from the burning of fossil fuels in thermal power stations. Besides,with features such as compact in size and lower proportion of fuel cost in its composition, it is not only easy to store and transport, but also less affected by the international economic situations.
However,ongoing debate about this new energy never ceases and opponents claim that nuclear power poses many threats to people and the environment. The major concern is that nuclear power plants can produce waste radioactive which is detrimental to people's health and those meltdowns can take decades to clean up. Therefore plans to build nuclear plants easily stir opposition and dissatisfaction from public who often have little knowledge of the influence of radioactive substances and fear and panic are often unavoidable once the radioactive leakage of accidents occur. Another obstacle in promoting this new source of energy should be economic factor, as investment in nuclear power plants require enormous money, making the construction of such plants unaffordable for many underdeveloped regions.
In conclusion, facing the severe shortage of energy supply, more efficient , safer and environmentally friendly sources of power like nuclear energy might be a better alternative to meet this ever-increasing global energy demand, but we should be aware that energy saving is also of great importance in keeping a sustainable development of world.
