Write an essay to explain your position on whether or not nuclear power should be continued in the us. support your position with specific reasons and justifications.

Answer is: nuclear power should not be continued in the US.

Nuclear energy is the energy found in the nucleus of an atom.

The main problem with nuclear power is safe disposal of HLRW.

HLRW is High-level radioactive waste.

Nuclear (radioactive) waste is hazardous to all forms of life and the environment.  

Long term storage of radioactive waste is needed. It is important the stabilization of the waste into a form which will neither react nor degrade over many years.  

If nuclear waste is wasted in atmosphere or into oceans and lagre lakes, eventually it will come in contact with living organisms.  

Nuclear fission is a nuclear reaction or a radioactive decay where nucleus of atom split into smaller ligher nuclei.
