POSITIVES OF NUCLEAR POWER
- Lower green house gas emission as nuclear plants do not emit as many dangerous gases
- When a nuclear reaction occurs it creates a giant amount of energy

Nuclear power in the future
By 2040 nuclear power should become much more mainstream meaning that it will begin to appear much more around the world. But it still doesn't mean that they will be everywhere as it takes 30 years to make a single plant.
