nuclear power is used both for weapons of mass distructions and the production of cheap, clean energy. do the advantages outweight the disadvantages?

technological advancement enables humans to harness the
power
 of nuclear
energy
.
however
, the usage of
this
energy
 is a matter of dispute as it can be used as a weapon to wipe out a place others believe it is a good origin of
energy
. even though nuclear capability has a few undeniable merits. I believe the demerits of atomic
energy
 comprise risks of a radiation leak in
energy
 reactors
coupled with
 chances of using it as a weapon causing a threat to mankind. commencing with the most prominent merit of atomic potential is the efficient and environment-friendly source of
energy
.
in other words
, it produces almost negligible pollution
along with
 a higher rate of
energy
 production for a long time
in contrast
 to conventional sources; like coal. For ,example one kilogram of uranium is enough to produce sustainable
energy
, for a medium town, for a whole year.
therefore
, there is no doubt it is a futuristic fuel with almost zero byproducts making it an ideal source of
power
. despite the given merits, the use of atomic
energy
 has undesirable ramifications. the most salient demerit is the risk of contamination by radiation. To exemplify it, nuclear reactions emit hazardous rays which can penetrate not only human's but
also
 animal bodies, resulting in dangerous mutations at the cellular level or even death. a single mistake in reactors, which use nuclear
power
 as a fuel, can lead to a catastrophic situation.
For instance
, in Chornobyl when the nuclear reactor was destroyed
due to
 a glitch in the system causing the deaths of more than a thousand people. another worth considerable drawback of
such
energy
 is its potential to be used as a tool to create panic among the human race. to illustrate, in Hiroshima and Nagasaki both cities entirely vanished by the bombs fueled with nuclear fusion
power
.
therefore
, in no time any nation having nuclear
energy
 as a source of clean
power
 can be turned into a destructive tool.
As a result
 , it can cause mass destruction and has a major drawback.
to conclude
,
although
, nuclear
power
 produce eco-friendly
energy
 and is an advantage of
this
energy
, its predicaments comprising the risk of contamination
as well as
 the potential use of it as a weapon, override any of its benefits.
