Actually this feeling comes from the word radioactive waste from nuclear energy and also from nuclear energy known as a source of pollution to the environment. Additionally, events such as Hiroshima, Nagasaki, Fukushima and Chernobyl have left cities abandoned and destroyed. Nuclear power has disastrous effects on the environment but it can solve the problem of climate change.I. Background this section will discuss the main factor of climate change and the important parts of nuclear power plant.A. The main driver of climate change. Industries, homes, and transportation vehicles use energy that usually comes from non-renewable energy resources such as fossil fuels and coal that produce greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), and nitrous oxide (N2O).B. The nuclear power plant. One of the most efficient sources of electricity is nuclear energy. Nuclear power plants contain four main parts. The most important part of nuclear power plants is the generator that converts the energy from the steam turbine into alternating current. The second part is the steam turbine which takes heat energy from nuclear reactors
