Look at the power that hiroshima had i. ii. i. ii: alpha particle, beta particle. Low enrichment nuclear power: highly enriched nuclear weapon i. ii. i. ii. iii. i. i. ii. iii. ii. iii. iv. i. ii. iii. iv. v, depleted uranium? i. Terrorists would explode these in watersheds, or large reservoir: cause little danger to human health, but creates fear and panic, radioactivity in the water sources and soils, removing them would require a tremendous amount of effort and a tremendous amount of money, nuclear reactor a. i. D. i. ii. iii. i. ii. i. ii: coal i. ii, coal vs. nuclear, mining coal, processing coal, burning coal, disposing of the by products associated with burning coal compared to nuclear power, there is a big difference in environmental footprint.
