3. Is nuclear energy safe?

It’s understandable that many people question the safety of nuclear power when they are only familiar with Chernobyl and Fukushima. But did you know that nuclear energy is actually one of the safest forms of electricity generation?

Per terawatt-hour of electricity produced, nuclear energy is just as safe as solar and wind power. And compared to fossil fuels? It's a game-changer! For example, for every terawatt-hour of electricity generated, nuclear energy results in only 0.03 deaths due to accidents or air pollution.

Let's put that into perspective. Brown coal? It's a staggering 32.72 deaths per terawatt-hour. And gas? 2.82 deaths.

So next time you hear concerns about nuclear safety, remember the facts. Nuclear energy is a key player in our clean energy future, providing safe, reliable power for generations to come!
