NuclearPower
How is it produced? Nuclear power is produced by controlled  (i.e., non-explosive) nuclear reactions.  Commercial and utility plants currently use nuclear  fission reactions to heat water to produce steam,  which is then used to generate electricity.
Advantages : •Almost 0 emissions (doesn't emit green house gases). It produces electricity without pollution into the atmosphere.  •They can be sited almost anywhere unlike oil which is mostly imported.  •The plants almost never experience problems if not from human error, which almost never happens anyway because the plant only needs like 10 people to operate it. •A lot of energy from a single power plant . •Breeder reactors create more usable fuel than they use.
Disadvantages : ,[object Object]
nuclear meltdown can often occur which will release massive amounts of radiation into the community.
Extremely radioactive nuclear waste is produced by nuclear power plants. This stuff can’t be just thrown out. The US plans to move all its nuclear was to an underground dump by the year 2010. Currently it is stored in the plants. ,[object Object]
Nuclear reactors only last for about forty to fifty years, so where they are extremely productive, they break down and are costly to replace.
 There are international dangers too. Some reactors produce plutonium which can be used to make nuclear weapons. If the whole world were to use these, they would have unlimited access to nuclear weapons. ,[object Object]
