At high doses, ionizing radiation can cause immediate damage to a person's body, including radiation sickness and death. Ionizing radiation is also a carcinogen, even at low doses; it causes cancer primarily because it damages DNA. However, the lower the dose of ionizing radiation, the lower the chances of harm.Apr 19, 2011

Chernobyl Deformities: The Effects of the Nuclear Disaster There were many health effects that were short term and long term after the disaster. This applies to both animals and humans that suffered from Chernobyl mutations in their generation and those that followed. This was due to the radiation and other debris and chemicals that were released from the Reactor that exploded. It was the radioactive cloud that affected the country as well as other countries, far and near. The first evidence found made people believe that the contamination came from Sweden when radioactive material was found on their nuclear plant employees’ clothing.

7. Not enough sites

Scaling up to 14,500 nuclear plants isn’t possible simply due to the limitation of feasible sites. Nuclear plants need to be located near a source of water for cooling, and there aren’t enough locations in the world that are safe from droughts, flooding, hurricanes, earthquakes, or other potential disasters that could trigger a nuclear accident. The increase in extreme weather events predicted by climate models only compounds this risk.

Nuclear power plants split uranium atoms inside a reactor in a process called fission. At a nuclear energy facility, the heat from fission is used to produce steam, which spins a turbine to generate electricity.

“In summary, the 7 reasons why we should say NO to nuclear power are:
1. Because it is not a fast enough response to climate change
2. Because it is too expensive
3. Because the need for baseload electricity is exaggerated
4. Because the problem of waste remains unresolved
5. Because it will increase the risk of nuclear war
6. Because there are safety concerns
7. Because there are better alternativeshttps://cleantechnica.com/2012/06/15/7-arguments-against-nuclear-power/

How bad is nuclear energy?

Nuclear energy has no place in a safe, clean, sustainable future. Nuclear energy is both expensive and dangerous, and just because nuclear pollution is invisible doesn't mean it's clean. Renewable energy is better for the environment, the economy, and doesn't come with the risk of a nuclear meltdown. https://www.google.ie/search?biw=1600&bih=794&ei=vKIFWo-TBqK9gAaB6oLgCw&q=why+not+to+use+nuclear+energy+&oq=why+not+to+use+nuclear+energy+&gs_l=psy-ab.3..0i30k1j0i8i30k1.13898.41501.0.44184.27.25.2.0.0.0.87.1287.25.25.0....0...1.1.64.psy-ab..0.26.1227...0j0i67k1j0i13k1j0i7i10i30k1j0i13i30k1j0i8i13i30k1.0.pT_tGTomZcQ

The expense of nuclear reactors ; nuclear reactors are expensive to build. From initial planning to first operation can take at least a decade. Cost overruns and delays are the norm for reactor construction. For example, the French nuclear company Areva is building new reactors in Finland and in France. The costs of both projects have increased by about €3bn each, nearly double the original price and the reactors are nowhere near completion. This problem is repeated with almost every reactor project in the world.

Disadvantages

Like fossil fuels, nuclear fuels are non-renewable energy resources. And if there is an accident, large amounts of radioactive material could be released into the environment. In addition, nuclear waste remains radioactive and is hazardous to health for thousands of years. It must be stored safely.

8. We have better alternatives

Renewable sources of energy, especially solar and wind power, are capable of providing cheap, clean and safe electricity much more quickly than newly build nuclear reactors would.

The claim that we need atomic energy as part of a mix of power sources is fallacious. A number of studies have shown that renewables have the potential to provide most if not all of our electricity needs.

In addition to the significant risk of cancer associated with fallout from nuclear disasters, studies also show increased risk for those who reside near a nuclear power plant, especially for childhood cancers such as leukemia (6)(7)(8). Workers in the nuclear industry are also exposed to higher than normal levels of radiation, and as a result are at a higher risk of death from cancer at a rate similar to the that of Japanese nuclear bomb survivors (10).

8. Cost

Unlike renewables, nuclear costs are on the rise, and many plants are being shut down or in danger of being shut down for economic reasons. Initial capital costs, fuel, and maintenance costs are much higher for nuclear plants than wind and nuclear projects tend to suffer cost overruns and construction delays. The price of renewable energy has fallen significantly over the past decade, and it projected to continue to fall (14).

Nuclear power stations generate high-level waste that stays dangerously radioactive for many thousands of years and for which no safe, long-term storage solution has yet been found anywhere in the world. All of the high-level waste produced at Koeberg over the years, for instance, remains in storage at the power plant itself.

Mining and processing uranium comes with very serious health risks for those involved as well as neighbouring communities, while also producing mountains of radioactive tailings and large quantities of contaminated liquids which represent major environmental threats.https://www.news24.com/Columnists/AndreasSpath/8-reasons-why-building-new-nuclear-power-plants-is-a-bad-idea-20160111

IT’S UNSAFE AND EXPENSIVE

The 2011 Fukushima disaster showed the world that nuclear power is clearly fundamentally unsafe. The meltdown at the Fukushima I Nuclear Power Plant was the worst since Chernobyl in Ukraine, 25 years earlier. Public investment in nuclear energy far out-strips investment in renewables. Nuclear plants are also expensive to set up and decommission, and the costs of storing radioactive waste (effectively indefinitely) also have to be considered. If the money pumped into nuclear had been spent on renewables, then the pay-off would have been much greater per-euro invested.

people suffer; When there is a nuclear disaster, the public pays the price in three ways. First, their lives and health are put at risk from massive releases of radioactive materials. Second, their lives are disrupted. They have to leave their homes, set up temporary homes without compensation and live without jobs. Families can be split up. Parents live with the ongoing worry that the health of their children may suffer. Third, the people who suffer the misery and disruption of a nuclear disaster end up paying the clean-up costs, the decommissioning of destroyed reactors and the compensation through their taxes. http://www.greenpeace.org/eastasia/news/stories/climate-energy/2012/nuclear-energy-dirty-dangerous/

In addition to the risks posed by terrorist attacks, human error and natural disasters can lead to dangerous and costly accidents. The 1986 Chernobyl disaster in Ukraine led to the deaths of 30 employees in the initial explosion and has has had a variety of negative health effects on thousands across Russia and Eastern Europe. A massive tsunami bypassed the safety mechanisms of several power plants in 2011, causing three nuclear meltdowns at a power plant in Fukushima, Japan, resulting in the release of radioactive materials into the surrounding area. In both disasters, hundreds of thousands were relocated, millions of dollars spent, and the radiation-related deaths are being evaluated to this day. Cancer rates among populations living in proximity to Chernobyl and Fukushima, especially among children, rose significantly in the years after the accidents (4)(5). https://www.greenamerica.org/fight-dirty-energy/amazon-build-cleaner-cloud/10-reasons-oppose-nuclear-energy

1. Nuclear waste:

The waste generated by nuclear reactors remains radioactive for tens to hundreds of thousands of years (1). Currently, there are no long-term storage solutions for radioactive waste, and most is stored in temporary, above-ground facilities. These facilities are running out of storage space, so the nuclear industry is turning to other types of storage that are more costly and potentially less safe (2).
