ISSUE
Nuclear power is generated by using
uranium which is a metal mined in various
part of the world. The first large scale of
nuclear power station was opened at
Calder Hall in Cumbria, England in 1956.
SUPPORTING POINT

Some military ships and submarines have nuclear power

plant for engine. Nuclear power produces around 11% of
the world's energy needed, and produces huge amounts of
energy. It cause no pollution as we would get when burning
fossil fuels. The advantages of nuclear plant are as follow:

-It costs about the same coal, so it is not expansive to

make.
-It does not produce smoke or carbon dioxide, so it does not
contribute to the greenhouse effect.
-It produces huge amounts of energy from small amount of
uranium.
-It produces small amount of waste.
-It is reliable.
CONTRASTING POINT

On the other hand, nuclear power is

very, very dangerous. It must be
sealed up and buried for many years
to allow the radioactivity to die
away. Furthermore, although it is
reliable, a lot of money has to be
spent on safety because if it does go
wrong, a nuclear accident ca be a
major accident.
CONCLUSION OR RECOMENDATION

People are increasingly concerned

about this matter. In the 1990's
nuclear power was the fastest
growing source of power in many
parts of the world.
