1 Nuclear Energy Review BLS Environmental Science

2 Nuclear Risks Evaluate the risks of nuclear power. Are we overly concerned or not concerned enough about nuclear accidents? Could an accident like Chernobyl happen in the United States?

3 NIMBY Would you rather live next door to a coal- burning plant or a nuclear power plant? Defend your choice.

4 Climate Change Global climate change has been cited by nuclear power proponents as one of the most important justifications for further development of the nuclear power option. Give reasons for their belief, and then site some reasons that would counter their argument.
