Answer:
Disadvantages of Nuclear Power:
· Nuclear Power generates radiation, which can be harmful or even fatal to infected people.
· A nuclear meltdown can occur which will release massive amounts of radiation into the community.
· Extremely radioactive nuclear waste is produced by nuclear power plants. This stuff can't be just thrown out. The US plans to move all its nuclear was to an underground dump by the year 2010. Currently it is stored in the plants.
· Nuclear waste dumps can spontaneously combust without warning.
· Nuclear reactors only last for about forty to fifty years, so where they are extremely productive, they break down and are costly to replace.
· There are international dangers too. Some reactors produce plutonium which can be used to make nuclear weapons. If the whole world were to use these, they would have unlimited access to nuclear weapons.
