Nuclear energy is commonly offered as an alternative to overcome this crisis of energy. The debate of whether the use of nuclear energy is an appropriate choice has not come to an end. Some people agree with the utilization of it because of its risks to the environment.
Those who agree with the operation of nuclear reactors usually argue that nuclear energy is the only feasible choice to answer the ever increasing energy needs. In theire opinion, the other sources of energy: oil, coal and liquid natural gas are not renewable and safe, while nuclear energy can be sustainably when produced in a safe way.
However, people who disagree with the use of nuclear energy point out that the waste of nuclear products can completely destroy the environment and human lives. A meltdown in a reactor, for example, usually results in the contamination of the surrounding soil and water. Take for example, the blow up of the nuclear reactor at the Chernobyl nuclear power station in Russia twenty years ago. The serious contamination imperiled people and the environment severely.
