Argumentative Essay On The Benefits Of Nuclear Energy

Introduction – As the human population is growing, there is the need to produce more energy to fill everybody’s needs and also try to keep the environment undestroyed and stop the climate change. One of the solutions to this problem was found in the science of atomic radiation, atomic change and nuclear fission, which was developed between 1895 to 1945, where most of the of the development happened in the last six years of that period and the focus at the time was at the atomic bombs ("History Of Nuclear Energy - World Nuclear Association"). After the period of time mentioned above, from 1945 the focus of the scientist started to change and they wanted to harness this energy, in a controlled way to produce electricity. As this type of energy formation goes on today, U.S. alone saves approximately 12 $billion dollars every year and 13% of the electricity used in the U.S. comes from the nuclear power reactors (Good). With all the benefits that the nuclear power brings to the society in today’s world, there is also a harm that comes with it, as all the processes that go on in these plants and all the equipment that is used are radioactive and very dangerous if it comes in …show more content…
Materials such as concrete, bricks, metals and fertilizers are some of the things that make up this type of nuclear waste. There are also other industries such as coal, oil, gas, food processing, chemical and steel industries also produce very low level waste because of the concentration of natural radioactivity that exists in minerals used in the processes that they use to manufacture products ("Radioactive Waste Management | Nuclear Waste Disposal - World Nuclear Association"). This kind of waste is disposed with all the other trash like plastic and other household
