Let’s explore the science, risks, and benefits of nuclear power. About 10% of U.S. power is generated by 96 operating nuclear reactors in 28 states. And the incentives for building more nuclear power facilities are increasing. However, it is important to gather all the evidence on both the risks and the possibilities of nuclear power before advocating for or against its expansion as a viable energy source.

From water to solar and coal to wind, the sources of energy that build and power our world have appropriately faced ethical, moral, scientific, and political scrutiny.
