When the energy is produced in the nuclear power plant, high voltage transmission lines transport it to power substations. Thereafter the energy is transported to industries and energy plants. And finally, the power arrives to us, the civilians. We use it to get electricity and to heat up our homes.

Nuclear power is one of the best energy sources. It doesnt produce any air pollution as carbon dioxide and It is a large energy source. it is very important for us. We get loads of energy from it.

Nuclear power is not only good; it is also bad and dangerous in some ways. When you produce nuclear power you get a radioactive refuse. This is really dangerous and it takes 100000 years for it to become harmless. But where can we put it in 100000 years? Well, the scientists came up with an idea. They could put the radioactive refuse in the mountains. But what happens if it leaks out. Then no one can live in the area without getting radioactivity in his or her bodies. And that can make us die. So imagine the world all covered by nuclear power plants. Then it would get very normal with explosions and the whole world would soon be radioactive. But the amount of the waste is actually very small. And the factories are also doing their best to keep it everything secured. Im sure that our society will develop and that we will come up with a better way to get rid of the waste. Therefore I find the theory of the whole world becoming radioactive not realistic.

We think that nuclear power is good, but shall not be used too much. We find it really good that it doesnt pollute the air, but the radioactivity is one of the reasons that we would prefer green power.
