1 No absolute answers.
Nuclear power can be safe if safety
precautions are observed. The expensive
maintenance fee of a nuclear power plant
may raise the price of nuclear power. And
since there is radiation leak from nuclear
power plant, nuclear power can be regarded
as unclean.
2 Others: Yes and no. The radiation emitted by
our bodies due to the decay of C-14 is
negligible and not harmful at all, while the
radiation leaked from a nuclear power plant
in an accident can be lethal.
