Nuclear power is the use of nuclear reactions that release energy to generate heat, which most frequently is then used in steam turbines to produce electricity in a nuclear power station. About 15% of Canada's electricity comes from nuclear power, with 19 reactors mostly in Ontario providing 13.5 GWe of power capacity. Proponents argue that nuclear energy is now safe and emits much less carbon emissions than coal plants. Opponents argue that recent nuclear disasters in Japan prove that nuclear power is far from safe.

The use of nuclear energy is fine but strong against the reproduction of it
@8V7JTGH4yrs4Y
Yes, however with extreme scrutiny on the handling of the core, rules, training, and emergency plans.
@8V5QQBQNew Democratic4yrs4Y
I need to be better educated on this before I can answer
@8V4RHSF4yrs4Y
Yes, but safety is paramount and use only the newer generation fuels that have half life of 300-400 years.
