waste each year. More than 70% of Americas emission-free
power comes form nuclear energy sources. Nuclear power is being used in over 30
countries around the world.
Long construction time, plus higher cost due to complex radiation .
Unknown risk Waste lasts 200-500 thousand years. Target for terrorism
Lower carbon dioxide and other green house gases.
Future nuclear waste can be recycled Lower operating costs Large power generating capacity able to
meet the industrial and city needs.
