Nuclear Power


Advantage vs Disadvantage

This simple illustration picked one advantage and one disadvantage (arguably the most positive: having electricity. And most negative: radioactive waste) and placed them side by side. It is interesting to me because the disadvantage portrays a hand reaching out of an overflowing barrel of neon green waste. In reality, there will not be open containers of waste laying around for people to fall into, but the symbolism strikes hard. It makes you wonder, where will this waste be stored? How much would be produced? Is it ensured that it will not harm us by just existing? Large questions from such a small and simple picture. 

What thoughts or questions strike you as you after looking at it?
