This essay will explore the notion that the world needs to seriously take a look at the reintroduction of nuclear energy as a source of power generation. Historically, the fears of nuclear power arise from the devastation that the misuse of nuclear energy and the errors in the design and maintenance of nuclear reactors can wreak, have prompted people to take a pause. Nuclear non-proliferation is a worthy goal, and some countries have signed on to it; others haven’t. Even countries which have committed to nuclear non-proliferation do so in varying amounts. In this essay, will be discussed the pros and cons of reintroduction of nuclear energy as a power resource.
