Persuasive Essay On Nuclear Power

Improved Essays
No, nuclear power should not be considered as a source of energy but, what is done is done. Nuclear power will be considered as a source of energy and nothing can turn back time. One of the reasons nuclear power absolutely should not be an option is because all things need to be experimented with, modified, changed, redone for something to work properly. At times those things you thought would work do not and those things fail horribly. After all the math done, you still don’t know what will happen and since nuclear energy is such a new discovery there is nothing to compare it to. Scientists may say that because they’re doing it out in the middle of nowhere it’s okay but, what about those animals could the nuclear radiation cause a mutation in their cells? Could that mutation hurt us? Many people spew out hocus-pocus about the safety of nuclear power. Perhaps, the nuclear power could be perfectly fine now but, what about the generation living 200 years from now? We will never know those answers unless, we do it. At times it’s better not to know the answer. …show more content…
What would make a bigger impact than cutting off a few heads? What would make the media turn into a frenzy more than a bomb? How about make more people afraid than a school shooting? The answer to those questions is a nuclear attack. Take a lesson from America when they bombed Hiroshima and Nagasaki, they ended a war. Could a nuclear attack in the hands of a wrong person, start a war? Of course, it could. As many well know all centralized power generation sources are under threat yet, I doubt they hold the same fear as an atomic bomb. Remember, a scientist is just a man and what comes with a man is a weakness. With the right incentive anybody can crack and spill out all the secrets. Breaches of security have happened and will continue to happen. Could one of those hackers find a way to get information about nuclear

This device had been developed in a project over the past few years starting in 1939 which was known as the Manhattan project. During the project over 100,000 people were employed and scientists from various nations contributed their work towards creating the bomb. Finally on July 16, 1945, it was tested in the Trinity test in central New Mexico. While this test was a success, the struggle with Japan and relations with the USSR were still present for the U.S. which led Truman to decide on the Atomic bomb usage.…

    Fission was used in the original atomic bombs, and fusion is most commonly used today. This is due to the fact that the amount of energy that can be released from fission is limited, whereas fusion can theoretically release an unlimited amount of energy. Fusion is the same type of reaction that occurs on stars, thus obviously very powerful. Fusion occurs when two atoms are “fused” together and release a stray neutron. Thermonuclear bombs are much more powerful, and produce significantly greater amount of gamma…
