Nuclear energy is a better choice for meeting increasing demand, agree or disagree?

Some argue that nuclear
power
 should be adopted as the major
energy
 source to satisfy the world’s rocketing demand for electricity. In my opinion, nuclear
power
 is indeed a relatively more appropriate choice,
however
, there are
also
 potential danger involved. Nuclear
power
 has a major environmental benefit. Many nations have been using nuclear
energy
instead
 of coal-fired alternative sources to generate electricity, which is positive to the air quality and the climate, because nuclear plants do not emit gases conducive to global warming, acid rain, or urban smog.
For example
, in 2013, Chinese nuclear plants have avoided fifty million tons of CO2 emission that would result if the electricity were produced by fossil fuels.
In addition
, nuclear
energy
 has high productivity and no climatically and geographical limitations. Nuclear reactors, which only require a relatively small amount of land, utilize a small quantity of feedstock input (Uranium) to generate huge amount of
energy
 continuously.
By contrast
, to obtain an equivalent renewable
energy
, an extensive solar farm or countless wind turbines and a much longer time are required,
furthermore
, these
power
 plants have to be built on certain
landforms
 and operated in suitable weathers.
However
, it is undeniable that nuclear plants may be dangerous in some circumstances. The principal risks associated with nuclear
power
 arise from radiation, which can penetrate deep inside
human body
Suggestion
the human body
 to damage biological cells and thereby initiate a cancer.
Nuclear leak
Suggestion
The nuclear leak
 may
also
 occur during catastrophic natural disasters or because of human error. In 1986, a nuclear plant in Chernobyl, Ukraine experienced a tragic explosion due to operator error.
This
 resulted in
enormous international spread
Suggestion
the enormous international spread
 of nuclear leak, which is still radioactive after decades. In conclusion,
although
 the world should accept nuclear
power
 as an
energy
 source which is superior to other ones in many ways, it should
also
 be noted that there are risks of
this
 technology.
