    This is about the nuclear energy reactor explosion and cause birth defects, heart disease, cataracts and cancer. National Academy of Sciences (NAS) predict that the Yucca Mountain facility will leak radiation into environment sometime later than ten thousnad years. This article also show that the potential harmful consequences of nuclear energy.
  • The Politics of Nuclear Power
