Whenever we speak about nuclear power, the first incident that comes to our mind is the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki during the end of World War II, that killed millions. Even today there are many who are facing the after effects of the incident. This has been the prime cause of opposition for nuclear energy around the world. But the technology in itself is not good or bad. It is only the way the it is used by the human beings that makes it good or bad. Let me give you an example. You can use a match stick to light a stove and cook food. But you can also use the same match stick to burn your house. Now if somebody uses the matchstick to burn the house, then can we blame the matchstick????????? No – Right??????. Well same is the case with nuclear technology.
