Is nuclear power good or bad?

I believe that nuclear power is good and bad. I think it is bad as it causes radio active pollution in the atmosphere which can cause people to get cancer, it also can destroy a lot of people.
However I believe that it is also good as it helps produce a lot of energy and electricity for the world. it also gives some countries a sense of defence as they might have nuclear bombs which is a very big bomb.

Advantages of nuclear energy

• Almost zero emissions (very low greenhouse gas emissions).
• They can be sited almost anywhere unlike oil which is mostly imported.
• The plants almost never experience problems if not from human error, which almost never happens anyway because the plant only needs a small group to operate it.
• A small amount of matter creates a large amount of energy.
• A lot of energy is generated from a single power plant.

Disadvantages of nuclear energy

Nuclear plants are more expensive to build and maintain.

•  Proliferation concerns - breeder reactors yield products that could potentially be stolen and turned into an atomic weapon.
• Early nuclear research and experimentation has created massive contamination problems that are still uncontained.
• A lot of waste from early reactors was stored in containers meant for only a few decades, but is well past expiration resulting in leaks are furthering contamination.
• Nuclear power plants can be dangerous to its surroundings and employees. It would cost a lot to clean in case of spillages.
