    The Advantage and Disadvantage of Nuclear Power

    This document discusses the advantages and disadvantages of nuclear power. It notes that nuclear power generates electricity through uranium and was first used commercially in the UK in 1956. It provides around 11% of the world's energy needs and produces large amounts of energy without pollution. Advantages include similar costs to coal, no greenhouse gas emissions, and producing large amounts of energy from small amounts of uranium. However, nuclear power is also very dangerous, as nuclear waste must be sealed and buried for many years. Accidents can also be major because of the risk of radiation. While nuclear power was growing quickly in the 1990s, people have increasing concerns about its risks.

    The Advantage and Disadvantage of Nuclear Power

    Nuclear power is generated by using uranium which is a metal mined in various part
    of the world. The first large scale of nuclear power station was opened at Calder Hall
    in Cumbria, England in 19!.
    "ome military ships and submarines have nuclear power plant for engine. Nuclear
    power produces around 11# of the world$s energy needed, and produces huge
    amounts of energy. %t cause no pollution as we would get when burning fossil fuels.
    The advantages of nuclear plant are as follow&
    %t costs about the same coal, so it is not e'pansive to ma(e.
    %t does not produce smo(e or carbon dio'ide, so it does not contribute to the
    greenhouse effect.
    %t produces huge amounts of energy from small amount of uranium.
    %t produces small amount of waste.
    %t is reliable.
    )n the other hand, nuclear power is very, very dangerous. %t must be sealed up and
    buried for many years to allow the radioactivity to die away. *urthermore, although it
    is reliable, a lot of money has to be spent on safety because if it does go wrong, a
    nuclear accident ca be a ma+or accident.
    ,eople are increasingly concerned about this matter. %n the 199-$s nuclear power was
    the fastest growing source of power in many parts of the world.
    Note on the Generic Structure of Discussion Text
    .iscussion is a process to find the meet point between two different ideas. %t is
    important to to get the understanding between the two differences. %n many social
    activities, discussion is the effective way to calm down any friction and difference in
    thought, perception and recommendation.
    This e'ample of discussion te't present the two poles, between the advantage and
    disadvantage of using nuclear plant to fulfill the energy needed. %t is a case which
    need to be tal(ed and discussed from two points. They are represented in the generic
    structure which is used&
    Stating the Issue& %n the first paragraph, it is stated that using nuclear power can be
    the choice in fulfilling the needed energy.
    Supporting Point& %n the second paragraph, it is presented the advantages of nuclear
    power plant to be used as the source of the world$s energy needed
    Contrastive Point& The third paragraph shows the balance. %t gives the contradictory
    idea in using nuclear power plant as the resource of energy.
    Recommendation& This te't is ended with a similar recommendation on how people
    should concern in the matter of nuclear energy.
