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 can benefit us, if used in a controlled and mild way with highly trained professionals on site.
@93GMC2S3yrs3Y
yes, but only when it is more reasearched and safer
@8RMBWFL4yrs4Y
Yes, as long as it is safe and will do no harm.

I think that we should use nuclear fusion instead of nuclear fission to eliminate nuclear waste.
no its bad for the enviroment
@99Q8Z7H2yrs2Y
I don't have enough knowledge to make a descision
@98VHWFG2yrs2Y
Yes, but it has to be done safely and away from the public.
@97DJR5Z2yrs2Y
yes, I remember seeing nuclear energy is safe and clean for the environment, and if it's not true, we should do our best for the environment and keeping our world clean
@8WPTFTTConservative3yrs3Y
Yes, but only until we have an effective renewable source
@8VJ5J9D4yrs4Y
As long it was away from populated areas.
@8TQ7NHC4yrs4Y
