Leaks of excessive amounts of radiation, explosions, radioactive waste, and large amounts of money are just some of the negative effects using power plants as energy could cause. If the power plant is not properly cared for large amounts of radiation could leak out affecting large areas also causing many to have to relocate for large periods of time because large amounts of radiation could cause of cancer and other future issues in the affected people. In the text “The truth about nuclear power” by Veronique de Rugy , it talks about the good and bad of using nuclear energy. The text states “future technologies may reduce the chance of some terrible disaster but it won't ever eliminate it completely. Like all other sources of energy , nuclear power entails some risk”. Using the nuclear power plants as an energy source is similar to lay Russian Roulette. The more we use it , the greater the chance of another disaster
