-low greenhouse gas emissions: contributes less to climate change

-reliability: nuclear plant don’t have problems with weather conditions (solar, wind power)

-less use of fuel

There are also disadvantages:

-nuclear waste: the process generates radioactive waste

-safety concerns: accidents like Chernobyl

-high costs: expensive

France and Finland, use nuclear energy. After the Fukushima disaster (2011) several European countries decided to stop investing in nuclear power, more in renewable energy sources.

We thing it is a good way to make energy but sometimes it’s very dangerous, and they have to make it more secure.

Carbon-free electricity

Small land footprint

High power output

Renewable energy source

Disadvantages:

Uranium is technically non-renewable

Very high upfront costs

Nuclear waste

Malfunctions can be catastrophic.

We agree that nuclear power can be very useful if used correctly, because it not there can be some terribile consequences.

1) It's a low-carbon energy source.

2) It has a small carbon footprint compared to alternatives like fossil fuels.

3) It's key to combating climate change and reaching net zero.

4) It's safe and reliable – providing us with power whatever the weather.

Disadvantages of nuclear power:

1) Radioactive waste

2) Risk of accidents

3) High initial costs

The situation in Europe, it varies among countries. Some European countries, like France and Sweden, have a significant portion of their electricity generated from nuclear power and continue to support its use. However, other countries, such as Germany and Italy, have opted to phase out nuclear power in favor of renewable energy sources following the Fukushima disaster in 2011.

In our opinion nuclear power is good because it helps reduce pollution from fossil fuels. But it needs to be super safe and handle its waste properly. We also need to keep improving how we make reactors and deal with the waste to make sure it's safe for the future.

Low greenhouse gas emissions: Nuclear energy produces few greenhouse gas.

High energy output: Nuclear power plants can generate large quantities of energy.

Reliability: Nuclear power can provide a stable source of energy, not reliant on weather conditions like solar or wind.

Disadvantages:

Risk of nuclear accidents: we can think about incidents like Chernobyl and Fukushima

High costs: The construction and maintenance of nuclear power are really expensive.

Radioactive waste management

In Europe the production of nuclear energy depends from state to state, for example it is one of the main resources for Germany and France while in Italy they have closed all nuclear power plants since the 1987 referendum.

Personally we think that nuclear energy is a good resource

Disadvantages: radioactive emissions; security problem; accident risk; nuclear waste

Situation in Europe: Europe is not a great user of nuclear energy, France is the only country that uses it a lot (70% of all energy), Germany has ordered to shut down all the nuclear power plants, but other countries like Finland and Sweden are planning to start using this kind of energy.

Nuclear energy is positive because it allows many people to be supplied with energy without polluting too much and at a lower cost, reduces the dependence from other states and new programs are being created to increase safety.
