Description

Nuclear power is another source of power like wind, water or solar power. It is a cheap, reliable and clean source of energy, however the biggest disadvantage is that it can be very dangerous when accidents (natural or man-made) occur. This can result in a huge cost to human life and the destruction of the environment. The Chernobyl nuclear disaster in Ukraine is one such disaster that occurred on 26 April 1986.
