On April 26, 1986, a tragic accident occurred at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant. The crew planned to test the turbine and in order to avoid any interruption in reactor power, the safety systems were disabled. For the experiment to be tested, the reactor had to be powered down to 25 percent of its capacity, but this did not go as planned, with the reactor's power level falling to less than 1 percent, causing the reactor emergency shutdown to fail. The reactor's fuel elements ruptured and there was a violent explosion. "The 1,000-ton seal cap on the reactor building was torn off. At temperatures above 2,000°C, the fuel rods melted. The reactor's graphite cladding then ignited. The graphite burned for nine days, releasing enormous amounts of radiation into the environment." (What Happened at Chernobyl, 1). Soviet authorities did not evacuate residents from the area around Chernobyl until the second day after the disaster and about a month later everyone living within a 30 km radius of the plant had been displaced. It is estimated that radiation from the Chernobyl disaster was 100 times more powerful than the atomic bombs dropped on Japan. Thirty-one people died shortly after the explosion, and thousands of people exposed to high levels of radiation suffered serious health problems, such as cancers, cataracts and cardiovascular disease. In 15 years, 3.5 million people died from radiation caused by the explosion. Like everything in this world, nuclear energy has both advantages and disadvantages. Some of the disadvantages of nuclear power are: Radioactive waste. Nuclear waste emits radiation, radiation that can change the DNA of cells, causing risk. I believe that nuclear power plants have more disadvantages and more risks than advantages, which is why I do not support it. As I mentioned earlier, I don't support nuclear power, so the idea of ​​building one in the UAE scares me quite a bit. . Personally, I don't believe that having nuclear power in the UAE is a good idea. Even though the UAE is a qualified country to have nuclear energy, I still don't believe that they should do so because, as I mentioned earlier, problems could arise, problems that could escape under government control, such as natural disasters. These problems will cause nuclear power to fail, causing a radiation leak that will ultimately cost us our lives. Would you risk your life to have nuclear power? I know I wouldn't, that's why I strongly believe that having nuclear power in the UAE is a very bad idea..
