Today, many industrialized and developing countries are using nuclear power, because it provides cheap and clean energy. However, a number of countries have and develop nuclear weapons to defend their own country from other countries. In addition, people afraid of possibility of leaking radiation. In this essay, I will identify the advantages and disadvantages of nuclear technology.
There are a lot of benefits in using nuclear technology. To begin with, nuclear power is cheap and clean, it does not emit harmful substances, such as carbon dioxide, and need significantly less resources to make energy. It is widely accepted that human will face the depletion of non-renewable resources, such as coal, oil and gas. So nuclear power will greatly substitute the fossil fuels. Secondly, radiation can treat incurable diseases. Radiation can be applied for human body and burn cancerous cells, so some people who have cancer can live longer or fully recovered. Thus, nuclear technology has brought enormous benefits for human.
On the other hand, we cannot overlook the negative aspects of nuclear technology. First of all, if nuclear technology is used as weapon, it would be the greatest threat all over the world. Nowadays, some of countries already have nuclear weapon and some of others try to develop nuclear weapon. If a country which is communism country like North Korea or have many terrorist will threat all over the countries. Second of all, despite of safety precaution and maintain plants safely to prevent leaking radiation, even a small mistake or unexpected incident can lead to a huge disaster, such as, Chernobyl in the formal Russia and Fukushima in Japan.
In conclusion, as I mentioned it, nuclear power provides cheap and clean energy for human, however, it has enormously dangerous aspects in spite of being careful. If it once leaked, we cannot fix the consequences. Hence, I think we need to reduce to use of unclear power and develop Eco-Friendly energy which is not dangerous and harmful to both human and environment, such as solar power, wind power and so on. |
