The Negative consequences of nuclear power


The two problems of nuclear power is radioactive waste and the possibility of melt downs like Tchernobyl.
The waste is dangerous because it can cause cancer and other health problems. The radioactive waste stays radioactive for at least one million years.
The other problems are melt downs. Heat makes more electricity. The nuclear power station is 100 times more heated than it is supposed to be. Melt downs are provoked by too much heat in the power plant. During a melt down the power plant makes more electricity. The biggest melt down in the world was Tchernobyl, in Russia in 1986. After the melt down of Tchernobyl, there was a fire and then a radioactive cloud formed. The cloud was made of radioactive chemicals. Those chemicals caused the cancer of the thyroid. They are glands in the neck sensitive to radiations. 5 million Russians got the cancer and hundreds died. About 125,000km2 of fields was unusable because of the radioactive clouds. Forest were damaged by the radioactive clouds.
Once every 2000 years there will be an accident like Tchernobyl (theoretically).
