The main difference between a nuclear power plant and other kinds of power plants lies in the way
the water is heated to steam. In a nuclear power plant, heat is produced by nuclear fission -
splitting atoms - rather than, for example, the combustion of oil, gas, or coal.

Nuclear Power Problem: Should Nuclear Power continue to be used or should it be eliminated from the
list of alternative power sources? Positive Aspects of Nuclear Power: • Cheaper in the long run
• More efficient power production • Long use of fuel Negative Aspects of Nuclear Power: •
Possibility of meltdowns • Need to store Nuclear Waste in secure facility • High safety
concerns with dangerous materials and terrorist threats Solution to Problem There are several
ways that the issues involving Nuclear Power can be solved. One of the first things that could
be done is an increased safety-training schedule for staff. Beyond this, a complex set of
natural disaster preventatives can be instituted to limit the impact of disasters. In order to
limit the effects outside of the nuclear power plant, citizens in the area would be given
safety classes to prepare for any disaster. Many drills are already conducted, but new drills
would increase public involvement. Another change could be recycling more nuclear waste to
limit the need for waste storage in secure facilities that are filling to capacity. Another
option would be building new power plants away from large populations. The last solution we can
put into effect is a gradual equalizing of other power generation alternatives so that there
are more options if a disaster does occur. Hopefully, if a disaster did occur in the future,
the public would be prepared. Nuclearpowerproscons.blogspot. N.p., n.d. Web. 12 Jan. 2014.
