Question

Supplying energy by nuclear power is a new trend in the recent years.However ， it may be very dangerous.

First ， the radioactive material must travel from its place of production to the power station.Although the power stations themselves are strongly built ， the containers used for the transport of the materials are not.Normally ， only two methods of transport are in use ， namely ， road and rail.Unfortunately ， both of these may have an effect on the general public ， since they are sure to pass near ， or even through ， heavily populated areas.

Second ， there is a problem of waste.All nuclear power stations produce wastes that in most cases will remain radioactive for thousands of years.It is impossible to make these wastes nonradioactive ， so they must be stored in one of the inconvenient ways that scientists have invented.For example ， they may be buried under the ground ， or dropped into deserted mines ， or sunk in the area.However ， these methods do not solve the problem ， since an earthquake could easily break the containers.

Third ， there may occur the danger of a leak or an explosion at the power station.As with the other two dangers ， this is not very likely ， so it doesn't provide a serious objection to nuclear program.However ， it can happen.

Separately ， these three types of dangers are not a great cause for worry.Taken together ， though ， the probability of disaster is extremely high.
