What are the RISKS of NUCLEAR ENERGY in addition to environmental damage?
Besides environmental damage, Nuclear radiation can cause many other problems too. Here are some examples.
• Impact on human health. Radiation causes a lot of health problems in humans. Some examples are, cancer, birth defects, genetic mutations, and death.
• High cost. A lot of money is required to set up a nuclear power plant. You also need to have permission from the government before you even think about setting up a nuclear power plant.
•National Risk. Nuclear energy has given us the power to produce more weapons than to produce things that can make the world a better place to live in. We have to be more careful and responsible while using nuclear energy to avoid any sort of major accidents. They are targets for militants and terrorist organizations. Security is a major concern here. A little lax in security can prove to be lethal and brutal for humans and even for this planet.
