The Advantage and Disadvantage of Nuclear Power

Nuclear power is generated by using uranium which is a metal mined in various part

of the world. The first large scale of nuclear power station was opened at Calder Hall

in Cumbria, England in 19!.

"ome military ships and submarines have nuclear power plant for engine. Nuclearpower produces around 11# of the world$s energy needed, and produces huge

amounts of energy. %t cause no pollution as we would get when burning fossil fuels.

The advantages of nuclear plant are as follow&

%t costs about the same coal, so it is not e'pansive to ma(e.

%t does not produce smo(e or carbon dio'ide, so it does not contribute to the

greenhouse effect.

%t produces huge amounts of energy from small amount of uranium.

%t produces small amount of waste.

%t is reliable.

)n the other hand, nuclear power is very, very dangerous. %t must be sealed up andburied for many years to allow the radioactivity to die away. *urthermore, although it

is reliable, a lot of money has to be spent on safety because if it does go wrong, a

nuclear accident ca be a ma+or accident.

eople are increasingly concerned about this matter. %n the 199-$s nuclear power was

the fastest growing source of power in many parts of the world.

Note on the Generic Structure of Discussion Text

iscussion is a process to find the meet point between two different ideas. %t is

important to to get the understanding between the two differences. %n many social

activities, discussion is the effective way to calm down any friction and difference in

thought, perception and recommendation.

This e'ample of discussion te't present the two poles, between the advantage and

disadvantage of using nuclear plant to fulfill the energy needed. %t is a case which

need to be tal(ed and discussed from two points. They are represented in the generic

structure which is used&

Stating the Issue& %n the first paragraph, it is stated that using nuclear power can be

the choice in fulfilling the needed energy.

Supporting Point& %n the second paragraph, it is presented the advantages of nuclear

power plant to be used as the source of the world$s energy needed

Contrastive Point& The third paragraph shows the balance. %t gives the contradictory

idea in using nuclear power plant as the resource of energy.Recommendation& This te't is ended with a similar recommendation on how people

should concern in the matter of nuclear energy.
