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.

In today’s modern
world
, some people think that nuclear
power
has many benefits to humankind.
Although
nuclear weapons are responsible for maintaining peace globally, and the atomic
power
generates clean
energy
at a low cost, I completely disagree with
this
notion, and I will explain in
this
essay why nuclear
power
is the biggest danger to humanity. There are numerous hazards of having nuclear weapons in the arsenal of a country. To
further
explain
this
, countries can wage nuclear war on another nation if they any political dispute. A good example of a nation suffering from a nuclear disaster would be Japan, in the
world
war II, Hiroshima and Nagasaki, two Japanese countries were hit by American missiles, and even after many
decades Japan

is still experiencing dire consequences of the nuclear war. These missiles killed not only many
people but

people, but
also
the radiation generated from these weapons caused severe diseases like cancers.
Additionally
, these radiations caused damage to the DNA of the Japanese population, and
this
damaged DNA propagated to future generations, causing them various cancers and many disorders.
This
tragedy reminds us of the fact that nuclear
energy
can exterminate the entire population of the
world
. Other significant issues with nuclear
energy
are maintenance of the nuclear
power
plants, and accidents if these facilities are not appropriately maintained.
For instance
, we all remember the Chernobyl tragedy in 1986 in the Ukrainian
power
plant. It was caused by accident and the negligence of

the staff
at that facility, which killed thousands of people by acute radiation poisoning.
Thus
, I
believe to

believe, to
prevent
such
catastrophe use of nuclear
power
as a source of
energy
should not be permitted. In conclusion, I want to reiterate my opinion, as it appears nuclear
power
maintains
world
peace it can demolish and wipe out the entire planet earth in a blink of an eye. It is a constant threat to humanity.
Furthermore
, even a minor accident in the
energy
-generating
power
plant can take thousands of lives, and the repercussions would be carried out for many generations.
