nuclear power is a reasonable approach to generating electricity

I believe nuclear energy is not a reasonable approach to generating electlicity compared with other forms of power generating methods currentry in use in the world today. We must keep in mind that nuclear energy has a number of disadsvantages as a reasonable energy source. Firstly, nuclear energy brings about more dangerous effects not only on the environment but on the life of human beings than fossil energies like oil and coal. For example, some of the car industries of the world are introducing environment-friendly vehicle like an electlic car these days. This contributes to reducing the emission of carbon dioxide drastically. This means that one of the disadvantages of fossil energies are being coped with by new technologies year by year. However, we can not find these developments in the field of nuclear energy. For example, we must pay attention to the waste called radioactive produced from nuclear power plants. ``The waste remains radioactive for hundreds of thousands of years. This is the biggest problem with nuclear energy.``(http://voices.yahoo.com...) Unfortunately, a safe way to deal with the disposal of nuclear waste is not found and developed. Therefore, disposal is a serious problem. And if there is an earthquake, a large amount of radioactive waste which have been stored will be leaked. ( http://voices.yahoo.com...) We must recognize that ``the effects of routine releases of radioactivity from nuclear plants depend somewhat on how the spent fuel is handled. A typical estimate is that they may reduce our life expectancy by 15minutes.``(http://physics.isu.edu....) Secondly, we can point out the risks of nuclear power plants. First risk is that people living near nuclear power plants have a risk of suffering from cancer ``due to long term exposure to low levels of radiation released from nuclear power plants.``(http://voices.yahoo.com...). Second risk is that there is a possibility of attacking on nuclear power plants by terrorist groups.(http://voices.yahoo.com...). The important thing is that ``nuclear power plant accidents can not be avoided 100 percent.``(http://voices.yahoo.com...). Thirdly, the construction of new nuclear power plant needs much time and a lot of money. ``Plants must invest heavily in containment systems and emergency plans. Extensive backup systems must be built and contingency plans must be developed to handle the rare threat of core meltdown.``(http://www.ehow.com...). Finally, in the developed countries many people are protesting against the building of nuclear power plants because of the danger and many risks which they produce. For example, ``there has not been a new nuclear facility in the United States of America since the much-publicized Three Mile Island incident. Furthermore, there are more than 40 special interest groups in the country that have been formed in protest and counter of the nuclear power industry.``(http://www.ehow.com...). As I have argued so far, nuclear energy brings about many detrimental effects not only to society but to the health of human beings. Therefore, nuclear power is not a reasonable approach to generating electricity. Rebuttals are moved for Round 3.
