　　Nuclear Plan
        　　>The threat of nuclear weapons maintains world peace. Nuclear power
provides cheap and clean energy. The benefits of nuclear energy overweigh the
disadvantages. Do you agree or disagree? Give reasons for your answer.
        　　The sense of doom in us today is not a fear of nuclear power but a fear of
war. Nuclear weapons have enlarged the mechanism of war by threatening to kill
more people more secretly and more horribly than those of the past. The
nightmare of Hiroshima is vivid memory and there is no way to outlaw a war, so
the only alternative is to go nuclear in the hope that nuclear weapons hidden in
stock somewhere serve to maintain world peace by theory of counter-attack. And
yet, going nuclear serves the purpose of energy supply. Now the classic
question: "To be or not to be?"
        　　Nuclear energy is cheap and clean. It is a solution to an energy crisis at
a time when other forms of generating electricity are facing limits. Already
power plants have been in operation in a number of countries. These are
successful examples to be followed. And it comes as no surprise that more power
plants are being built for peaceful use. In all appearances, the fear of war is
overcome by the need for economic development.
        　　Obviously, there are reasons to believe that the benefits of nuclear power
will overweigh the disadvantages in the long run. Besides, there is no going
back. The feeling of mutual trust on the international front must therefore
prevail in order to ensure lasting peace. It is generally agreed that nuclear
weapons should be the last thing to be thought of as a means to win a war
because there would be no winner in any nuclear conflict. If anything goes
wrong, the scale of destruction on human lives and civilization is beyond
imagination.
        　　In spite of reasonable fear for a nuclear war, nuclear know-how is not
warlike. Rather, it is a by-product of warlike society. The nuclear science and
technology have provided the means, for good or for bad. And the world must
seize it for good, for peaceful use forever.
