With the development of technology , nuclear power more and more plays an irreplaceable role in our life. There are some people, however, who query the rational of having atomic energy.  I will analyse the positives and negatives of nuclear power.
Those who make the case that nuclear power has a negative effect think that it is nuclear that is pushing the planet into a dangerous situation. When a nuclear power station is comprised , it not only causes immediate damage but also nuclear pollution can be released into the environment. This pollution can spread into water courses and on into the ocean, presenting a threat to people’s health and ultimately to their lives. An obvious example of the impact of nuclear power are the atomic bombs that destroyed two cities in Japan in 1945. The cities had to be rebuilt and the people there developed a range of diseases or disabilities associated with radiation across several generations . The dangers of atomic energy are undeniable. 
On the other side of the argument there are those who focus on the benefits nuclear brings. They think it is reasonable to use nuclear. When used properly, it is a clean energy which can take the place of coal and other fossil fuels that, compared with nuclear, pollute the air constantly and also destroy natural resources. What’s more, as a unique source of energy , it is used in certain areas of medicine. There would be diseases that would currently be untreatable without nuclear energy . To some the most important point is that nuclear energy is a symbol of national strength. By that I mean it is the standard by which the military might of a country is measured, nuclear weapons and atomic bombs, in other words, a strong nuclear technology.
In short , even with so many dangerous aspects threatening our safety , we still can't stop the movement towards developing a nuclear program.
