• If mishandled it could be extremely dangerous: just think of the possible consequences if a substantial load of radioactive matter ends up in wrong hands ! On the other hand if handled properly it is said and believed to be one of the cleanest and most reliable sources of energy...
  The truth is: if we are to deal with nuclear devices, we need to have properly trained personnel and they should be supervised by scientists...Very complicated on an altogether scale and this is the point you should make !
• It%26#039;s not very dangerous, it%26#039;s actually one of the safest forms of mass power. Three Mile Island a U.S. disaster claimed no lives due to meltdown or fallout. The only reason why Chernobyl had such a devastating effect was because Russia was not able to fully and safely support a nuclear power program. You just can%26#039;t half @ss it and expect it all to work. Go Isotopes!
• Nuclear energy is not dangerous. Power plants are designed to be able to handle the impact of an aircraft crash (yes, even before 9/11). Engineers are constantly working on ways to improve safety, and efficiency. Please check the new reactor designs to see the new safety features of nuclear power plants. www.nrc.gov

• 1. radiation caused by meltdowns in reactors is very dangerous (example : chernobyl)
  
  2. Possibility of making nuclear weapons from nuclear fuel
• Nuclear energy is dangerous in that as long as money is involved there will be those attempting to save a buck by cutting back on safety and materials.
  
  There is also the risk of nuclear material falling into the wrong hands as the amount of material unaccounted for increases. Not to mention the issue of nuclear waste.
• Nuclear energy is dangerous in the same
  way ALL electric power is dangerous.
  Which is really why A.I. Computers, robots, lasers,
  Solar Power, and Rockets for built the idiots.
  Since none of them really care where the
  electricity comes from:
  Coal, gas, nuclear, or whatever.
• if it get hit!!!!!!!by a plane....
