Nuclear supporters claim nuclear power can help the environment. __2__ So, pro­nuclear countries argue that nuclear power allows them to generate energy without contributing to climate change. Britain's chief scientific adviser(John Beddington) supports this view.

　　Nuclear power is also relatively cheap. Renewable energy sources such as solar, hydro and wind power may be clean, but they're expensive; and right now, they require a lot of investment. __3__ So, while many people may prefer their energy to come from a renewable source, not so many are prepared to pay higher energy bills.

　　__4__ For a start, nuclear waste is very difficult to dispose of, and remains toxic to humans for thousands of years. And even before Fukushima, there were several highprofile nuclear disasters. The most famous is probably the 1986 Chernobyl disaster, in the Ukraine. The radiation from the meltdown spread all over Europe, affecting thousands of people.

　　The nuclear energy issue is very complex. __5__ As a Japanese commentator recently said, “It's been a bad year for the ‘nuclear village’， but I don't think they're down and out yet.” The battle continues.

　　A．And it doesn't look like it'll be resolved anytime soon.

　　B．The main argument against nuclear energy is that it isn't safe.

　　C．Nuclear power could only end the world instead of saving it!

　　D．Many people believe that they will benefit from the unclear energy.
