Radiation causes molecules to lose electrons this means that the organism is destroyed. Radiation can also damage DNA and the body may not be able to repair itself, this creates unwanted mutations in plants, animals and marine life.
Compelling reasons why nuclear should be considered.
There is no doubt that nuclear power plants are an efficient way to create electricity. The efficiency of nuclear power is determined similarly to other heat engines, the amount of electric power produced for each unit of thermal power gives the plant its thermal efficiency.Typical nuclear power plants achieve efficiencies around 33-37%, comparable to fossil fueled power plants. Higher temperature and more modern designs like the Generation IV nuclear reactors
