The environmental effects of nuclear power are relatively light compared to those” (Maehlum, 2013, para5). Which means nuclear energy is less energy may be harmful the climate although the world is faced global warming by energy pollution. However, worst aspects that impedes production of nuclear energy to spread everywhere is several harmful effects that may destroy the life. Indeed, nuclear accidents and leaking radiations are worst issues that are involved in countries. The world has seen nuclear accidents and spread of nuclear radiation that have killed a lot of people who work on nuclear plants or live around plants. That happens mostly because the workers mistakes and the nuclear plants which control radiations to release energy steadily have their own defects. The Chernobyl nuclear energy plant accident was happening at 1986 in Ukraine was the only accident in the history of nuclear energy to cause fatalities from radiation. That was due to defects it is evident in the design of nuclear reactors (NEI, …show more content…
Disposal of Nuclear waste is most important part of nuclear energy generation that can effect the hazardous materials on animals and plant life. (Ruckelshaus, 2009). Because disposal of nuclear waste is extremely dangerous, scientists suggest a lot of solutions but at the end was a failed idea such as underground burial. That underground burial lead to might spreading of radiation in future because nuclear waste will remain radioactive for hundreds of years. At 1982 United states federal law proposed idea that using the space shuttle as a garbage disposal vehicle, but shuttle flights not became enough or frequent enough and another problem is very expensive to carry to the wide space (Claiborne, 2004). That if this idea was succeed and did not have other consequences, it would have a huge spread of nuclear energy because the space is very wide and can sand space shuttle with nuclear waste without problems. Moreover, Some of nuclear plants try to do the waste is well sealed inside huge drums of steel or underground burial as mentioned previously, sometimes accidents are occurring because of human mistakes such as leaking hazardous materials that would affect the plants and animals life. In Chernobyl explosion, there are obvious adverse effects on red forest that close to the explosion site and animals that there were. Due to exposure to radiation, it
