The issue of whether we should allow building nuclear stations has been
debated widely in our community.Although,defenders of nuclear stations believe that
nuclear power is economic and environmentally friendly,these stations shouldn’t be
build for three main reasons.To begin with,the waste that is produced when using nuclear
fuel is very harmful and radioactive.Even small amount of this waste can effect
ecological life negatively.Therefore this waste shouldn’t be handled by anyone without
professional training.Another reason is risk of terrorist attack and sabotage.Terrorists
choose especially nuclear power stations to attack becuse of this nuclear stations must
be protected very carefully.The last reason is limited uranium supplies.World uranium
supplies may run out in about 50 years.When these uranium supplies finished we cannot
produce energy with nuclear stations so that we should consider other options to produce
energy .Despite these strong argument against the issue ,those who favor the issue claim
that nuclear energy is economic For example,20 tonnes of nuclear fuel is sufficient to
provide 3 weeks’ electricity for a city with a population of 1.000.000 while 85.000 tonnes
of oil is necessary to generate the same amount of electricity.The proponents of the issue
have point but people life cannot compared with economical reasons it is certain that
people are more important than money .To conclude, it is crucial that nuclear power
stations shouldn’t be build due to limited supply and ecological reasons
