The threat of nuclear weapons maintains world peace. Nuclear power provides cheap and clean energy. The benefits of nuclear technology far outweigh the disadvantages. To what extent do you agree or disagree? Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your knowledge or experience.

Nuclear

technology

facilitates in providing cheap and clean

energy

. There is

also

a threat because of nuclear weapons. I strongly believe that the benefits clearly outweigh the disadvantages. I shall discuss my arguments in detail in

this

essay. The other major contributor of

energy

generation, apart from the nuclear

energy

, is the

energy

produced with water in dams.

However

, producing

energy

in dams is cumbersome and completely dependent on precipitation in mountainous areas.

Also

, the

energy

produced in dams is not sufficient enough to cater the needs of the

energy

requirements in today's world.

Energy

generated by nuclear

technology

,

on the other hand

, is much more clean and cheap.

On the contrary

, it

also

poses threat in the form of nuclear weapons. Another viewpoint is that the nuclear weapons have not been used after the world war 2. Clearly, it has been a deterrent to the countries and world peace is maintained. Countries could

also

restrict the use of nuclear weapons by implementing international laws as a solution to

this

problem.

Additionally

, other forms of energies like wind, coal and oil are either obsolete or insufficient. Some other new forms of

energy

generation are at the initial stage of research and application. Nuclear

technology

is the only easiest and cleanest way to generate

energy

at the moment. To conclude, it can be said that as of now, the nuclear

technology

is the only and best way to generate

energy

. There are some threats due to nuclear weapons which cannot be overlooked.

However

, the benefits of nuclear

technology

are much more that the disadvantages.
