There are three separate sources of hazard in the ***Câu 914*** of supplying energy by

nuclear power.First, the ***Câu 915*** material must travel from its place of

manufacture to the power station. Although the power stations themselves are solidly

built, the containers used for the transport of the materials are ***Câu 916***. There are

normally only two methods of transport ***Câu 917*** namely road or rail.

Unfortunately, both of these ***Câu 918*** close contact with the general public since

the ***Câu 919*** are sure to pass near or even through, heavily ***Câu 920*** areas.

Second, there is the problem of waste. All nuclear power stations produce wastes that in

most cases will ***Câu 921*** radioactive for thousands of years. It is impossible to

***Câu 922*** these wastes no radioactive, and so they must be ***Câu 923*** in one

of the inconvenient ways that scientists have invented. For examples, they may be buried

under the ground, or dropped into abandoned mines or sunk in the sea. However, these

methods do not solve the problem, since an earthquake could easily ***Câu 924*** the

containers open. Third, there is the problem of accidental ***Câu 925*** due to a leak or

an explosion at the power station. As with the other two, this is not very likely, so it does

not provide a serious objection ***Câu 926*** the nuclear program. Nevertheless, it can

happen. Separately, these three types of risks are a great cause for***Câu 927***. Taken
