today my topic is ’nuclear power: a blessing or a disaster?’
when the first atomic bomb was dropped on hiroshima, japan, the world was thrust into atomic age. meanwhile in the commence of cold war and during its long term, it had set the world into fear and panic of nuclear war many times.
but over the years, nuclear power has found its way to promote goodness for humankind .it promises to provide clean and efficient energy for the centuries to come.
so whether nuclear power a blessing or a disaster?
there is no firm answer for this question from
my own perspective.
ladies and gentlemen, my very initial contact
with nuclear power was from a tv programme called
green space where i saw for the first time how
nuclear power had changed people’s lives and what
it had left for the residents’living around chyrnobil
nuclear power plant. unfortunately, it was a sad story.
my heart sank when i saw a boy infant appear
on the screen smiling with big blue sparkling eyes. he
was so cute and adorable just like all the other kids
but he was blinded. what’s more, he had to receive
medical treatment everyday to alleviate radiation
英语演讲比赛damage, but still stood little chance of growing up.
later i learned that inappropriate operation and
equipment design defect was responsible for the
tradegy .eight years has past, but the picture of that
boy’s smile still appears infront of me and reminds
me that nuclear power can be a living devil.
however, with the increasing depletion of
resources and the instant demand for energy, clean
and efficient nuclear power may seem the best
choice.
as an old saying goes ’every sword has two
blades.’nuclear power is dangerous, yet efficient;
environmental devastated yet clean; expensive yet
sustainable. it is a matter of how we use and how we
treat it. while let’s beyond all this ,whether nuclear power a blessing or a disaster, it’s ours’choice.
thank you for listening!
