答案：
Nuclear power is not a best option As the world's oil supply runs out, it becomes more urgent to develop sustainable energy sources.As one of the available new energy alternatives,nuclear power is good because it is cheap and clean.However, in my mind, it is not a best energy option due to the environment, safety, and health concerns it poses.First, nuclear power poses serious environmental concerns. Though nuclear power plants emit no carbon dioxide, radioactive wastes from them, such as spent fuel rods, can remain active for hundreds or even thousands of years. Safe disposal of these wastes is still not possible. Besides, much of the equipment in the nuclear power plants becomes contaminated with radiation, which can cause serious problems to the local environment. Nuclear power plants also use large quantities of water for steam production and cooling, thus affecting water quality and aquatic life.Second, nuclear power causes great safety concerns.Despite the claim that nuclear power industry has a" superb record" on safety, a few major nuclear disasters have left many people believing that nuclear power plants are not safe enough. Both technical failure and human error can occur, leading to nuclear accidents. Even if there is no nuclear accident, some by- products of nuclear reactors could be improperly used to make nuclear weapons.Moreover, nuclear power plants could become prime targets for terrorist attacks, and a satisfactory plan to protect nuclear power plants from terrorism is not in place.Third, nuclear power raises a number of health concerns. The small amounts of radioactive material released during routine operations may have detectable medical effects on nearby populations.In the event of a nuclear disaster, health concerns become more obvious. Exposure to radioactive fallout would lead to an increased risk of genetic disorders, cancer and other diseases.As an energy alternative that has low costs and creates no greenhouse gas emissions, nuclear power can be developed and used, but only on a limited scale. It is certainly not a best solution to our energy problem due to the various concerns it causes.To meet our increasing demand for energy,scientists and researchers have to work harder to find more viable solutions.
