According to EnergyInformative.org, nuclear power plants have many pros and few cons. Power plants have a relatively low cost. Building a nuclear power plant is very expensive, as is purchasing the energy source, usually uranium. Once a power plant is built, the energy used by the plant is cheaper than traditional energy sources. They provide a stable load of energy and can be combined with other forms of energy production. Furthermore, nuclear energy creates less pollution. This all sounds great, but the few disadvantages of nuclear power plants outweigh all these positives. The most questionable disadvantage of nuclear power plants is the accidents that can happen. On April 26, 1986, in Chernobyl, Ukraine, a terrible accident occurred at the nuclear power plant operating there. It is estimated that between 15,000 and 30,000 people died as a result of the Chernobyl accident. And more than two million Ukrainians still live with health problems related to nuclear waste. More recently, on March 11, 2011, in Fukushima, Japan, a strong earthquake caused a fifteen-meter-high (about 49.5 feet) tsunami, which knocked out power and cooled three reactors. While the death toll is nowhere near that of Chernobyl, the environmental damage here is much worse. So nuclear power plants have a huge roster of professionals, but accidents happen and there's no real way to protect yourself if they do. With over four hundred and thirty people worldwide, what would happen if a group attacked just a few? It would cause enough radiation to enter the atmosphere to cause widespread radiation poisoning, killing
