 * The most alarming nuclear accident to me is the SL-1 EXCURSION Pros of the nuclear reactor are Little Pollution, Reliability, and Safety, which is a pro and con. Cons of the nuclear reactor are Radiation, Melt Down, Waste Disposal. Different resources we use in our planet are the Sun, Solar Enery, Wind Power, Moving Air, Fossil Fules, Coal, Oil and Natural Gas.One problem is fossil fules are non-renewable.**
 * Little Pollution helps the nuclear reactor as more soft coal is used, the amount of pollution will increase. ­As far as positives go, nuclear power's biggest advantages are tied to the simple fact that it doesn't depend on fossil fuels. Coal, gas and oil burning power plants are responsible for half of America's air pollution. Relaibility is an advantage of nuclear energy because nuclear power plants need little fuel, so they are less vulnerable to shortages because of strikes or natural disasters.Safety is also an advantage f nuclear energy because nuclear power is one the safest methods of producing energy.**
 * Safety is a con due to an increase in radiation or humidity could mean there is a leak. It can also be a con because the results of a compromised reactor core can be disastrous. Meltdown doesn't help nucler energy because the loss of coolant water in a fission reactor, causes the rods to overheat. Rods that contain the uranium fuel pellets would dissolve, as a result in leaving the fuel exposed. adiation is considered a con because If all our power came from nuclear plants we would receive an extra 2/10 of a millirem a year. Three major effects of radiation is cancer, radiation sickness and genetic mutation, which are untracable. Waste disposal is an disadvantage because**
