Social Impacts of Nuclear Energy: Nuclear energy is considered a sustainable energy source that reduces greenhouse gas emissions and produces much less waste than conventional energy such as fossil fuels. However, nuclear waste is highly radioactive and poses numerous dangers to public health and the environment. This is why public safety is a major concern when it comes to the production and use of nuclear energy. Nuclear accidents are catastrophic on a global scale, which has caused public fear of nuclear energy. In this section we will analyze whether nuclear energy is truly a green option, the impacts of nuclear power plants on society on a local and global scale, and what ethical principles should be considered when making decisions about nuclear energy. According to energy advocates nuclear, a typical nuclear power plant employs 400 to 700 people depending on its size. Wages paid to nuclear power plant workers are on average 36% higher than other local jobs. According to the study by the Nuclear Energy Institute, a nuclear power plant, in addition to new jobs, also creates jobs in the neighborhood, from food traders to developers building properties. When members of society are engaged in productive work, it helps them increase their self-esteem. Employment brings money and recognition to individuals, and society improves and offers more goods and services. New jobs also increase individuals' living standards. Financial security and a higher standard of living are essential for good physical and mental health of individuals. The creation of new jobs can also help reduce other social impacts of unemployment, such as drug abuse, family breakdown and poor antenatal care. In addition to that, the norm... middle of paper... such weapons, and the trepidation this has aroused throughout the post-Hiroshima era, is itself immoral, as much as nuclear war itself. If not every day, the mushroom cloud always remains in our minds. If we take into account the attack on France last week, the number of people injured is less than the entire human race, but even such limited use of weapons would not be justifiable or feasible. We have no right to behave in such a way that we can give a certain group of people the choice to end all life on the planet to save a human creation, the nation. The time has come to take decisive steps to change the ethical ambiguity of the 21st century to shape world peace by moving towards alternative energy resources for human consumption rather than spending our energy on improving nuclear technology even for the benefit of man..
