The energy crisis the world faces currently is one of the most urgent and disturbing questions countries have to deal with. The reasons why the crisis exists vary widely. One of the most evident of those is the limited supply of natural resources that become more and more scarce because of overconsumption, overpopulation, and too high demand. With this in mind, the humankind has no other choice than to rely on alternative sources of energy, giving priority to nuclear power. Even though the word nuclear is considered scary, its scariness is exaggerated. Nuclear plants now provide at least 16% of all world’s electricity and have much less adverse impacts on the environment than people believe they do (The United Nations par. 2); nuclear power is also cheaper and even safer than other energy sources and is regulated by international associations, which guarantees high safety standards. International concerns about nuclear power exist as long as nuclear power itself. Those can be divided into two broad categories: the use of nuclear materials for evil purposes (that is, creation weapons) and the safety of existing reactors. Let us start with the second one. The belief that nuclear reactors are unsafe is based on three large nuclear accidents that happened during the previous fifty hears in different parts of the world. Those are Chernobyl in Ukraine, the Three Mile Island in the US, and Fukushima in Japan (Brook et al. 11). Incidents attracted worldwide attention, and people, inspired by the media, began to think that nuclear power was the most unsafe. However, that belief is imposed by the media and society since a lot of books and articles reasonably claim the opposite. In terms of human lives lost, nuclear energy is one of the safest (Brook et al. 11; McKinney, Schoch and Yonavjak 222). Out of the three incidents mentioned above, only the accident that happened in Chernobyl became the reason for the number of deaths (Brook et al. 11). Nevertheless, there have been less than a hundred of those, which is considerably less than an average number of fatalities that happen in the coal, oil, or gas industries every year (Brook et al. 11). Surprisingly, they do not attract much public attention (McKinney, Schoch, and Yonavjak, 222). The accident in Fukushima was the latest one and happened when many countries were already actively using nuclear power. It influenced the world a lot. Germany, for instance, claimed that its reactors would be shut down, and Japan followed Germany’s example, even though with less conviction (Moniz par. 2). However, the incident had also another effect – countries that did not want to shut down their nuclear plans began to review the industry’s regulatory requirements and safety standards, and the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission was a prime example (Moniz par. 5). Therefore, the use of nuclear power is safer now. Plants, where the three fore mentioned accidents occurred, were old; the present-day nuclear reactors are much safer and less likely to meltdown (“Arguments for and against nuclear power” par. 1). Admittedly, they still remain vulnerable to natural disasters and terroristic attacks. However, each modern reactor is well-equipped and has a containment structure. Moreover, radioactive waste and spent fuel storage are usually located below the ground level (The World Nuclear Association par. 15). The safety of nuclear reactors is also being questioned because of environmental issues and impacts on human healt
