Nuclear power plants are really devastating for the nature. The nuclear waste that is created as a result of fission stays radioactive for thousands of years. Also, we had several nuclear disasters that have proven how unstable this whole system is. There are many better alternative and renewable sources of electric energy. Humanity should completely remove nuclear power plants.
When it comes to nuclear fuel, only 10% of it actually gets used. The remaining 90% is unusable poisonous substance, which will destroy any type of organic matter. There is no way to destroy this waste, we can only store it somewhere. The thing is that we will have to store it for 10,000 years. There have been no nations, and no governments, that have lasted for even half of that time. So any institution in charge of it might fade from existence, and future generations could come, unknowingly, in contact with the nuclear waste. This could have a devastating effect on our descendants.
Another really big problem are the nuclear power plant disasters. These disasters have laid waste and destruction to their surrounding areas, causing many deaths. There was of course the well-known case of Chernobyl. The lesser known case of the Three Mile Island incident which happened in the late 70s. And we also have the recent disaster at Fukushima. The last one is extremely worrying because we thought that our nuclear power plants became completely safe, but Fukushima proved us wrong,
There are many sources that are far better, such as solar and wind power. There is no need to go into nuclear energy because we have them.
The passage and the lecture are about the detrimental side effects of nuclear power plants. The author of the reading feels that nuclear disasters and nuclear waste prove it to be a harmful method to produce electric energy. The lecturer challenges the claim made by the author. He is of the opinion that most of the drawbacks of nuclear energy are exaggerated.
To begin with, the author argues that most portion of the nuclear fuel is just a futile toxic substance. The article mentions that there is no method to destroy this waste, so we can only store it. Also, it takes several 10000 years to store and decay, which will produce undesirable effects to our future generations. This specific argument is challenged by the lecturer. He claims that waste is just a temporary problem, and research is being done to recycle nuclear waste.
Secondly, the writer suggests the important issue of nuclear power plant is their disasters which disperse waste and destruction to the surrounding ecosystem. In the article, it is said that incidents like Chernobyl and Fukushima proves that this method to produce energy is unsafe. The lecturer, however, rebuts this by mentioning that nuclear energy in real produces fewer deaths and pollution than other energy sources like from burning coal or natural gases. Additionally, he says that far more people have died due to pollution than they did from the Chernobyl accident.
Finally, the author posits that other sources like wind and solar power are better options than nuclear energy for the generation of electric energy. In contrast, the lecturer's position is that as compared to other resources nuclear is a source that produces constant energy, whereas issues like cloudy weather and lack of wind breeze hinder the generation of power from these sources.
