The Advantages and The Disadvantages of Nuclear Energy

Nuclear energy is commonly offered as an alternative to overcome the 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 untilization of it because of its benefits. Some other, however, disagree because of its risks to the environment.
Those who agree with the operation of nuclear reactors usually argue that nuclear is the only feasible choice to answer the ever-increasing energu needs. In their opinion, the order sources of energy: oil, coal, and liquid natural gas are not renewble 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 the 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 Rusia twenty years ago. The serious contamination imperiled people and the environment severely.
It is obvious that nuclear energy should be avoided because it really endangers the environment but what about a less pollured energy instead of nuclear.
