Philosophy+For+Nuclear+Energy

Philosophy Group: Put stuff here advocating the use of nuclear energy.

Well nuclear power does not expose society to a lot of radiation as many expect. In fact, one-third of radiation that Canadians obtain every year, on average, are from natural sources such as: rocks, plants, and air around us, and even our own bodies, and several hundred times less than that which is observed to have a health effect in human populations. To actually see a huge affect on one's health from nuclear power is if that person lived in the plant for his or hers entire life. Due to the low rates of radiation exposure there is no proven facts that show nuclear power reactors having a negative impact on society's health. Also plants must be regulated, meaning that if they are unsafe or in a unsuitable position the plant must immediately shutdown. Pros of Nuclear power
 * Nuclear power plants are unwilling to risk the health of society if their is something wrong with their reactors
 * Creates a lot of job opportunities
 * It is much safer to obtain nuclear power rather then coal mining
 * It is more enviromental friendly then coal
 * There is alot research and testing of the possible incidents/events at a nuclear power plant,
 * They study what equipment and actions are designed to prevent those incidents/events from having serious consequences,
 * The evaluation of the worst-possible timing and scope of those serious consequences (the worst-possible in extreme cases being a release of radiation)
 * The actions taken to protect the public during a release of radiation
 * There is training and rehearsals performed to ensure readiness in case an incident/event occurs.
