Nuclear Power whether it is good or Bad depends on the use.
but if one considers the radiation efforts and shutdown costs an alternative is better if available is better.
Like France and Japan if it is Power it is worth it.

Bad.
-Nobody has come up with a satisfactory answer to what to do with the waste.
-It is the first step into developping nuclear weapons (otherwise the US end the EU would not be so worked out about Iranian efforts to get it).
-It is an economic sinkhole. All nuclear power plants are kept running at hughe costs to the tax payers by means of lavish subsidies. No nuclear plant has ever been profitable. That is the dirty little secret of the industry.
-For obvious reaons the nuclear power industry is closely linked to military industries. I don;t know about you, but I would prefer no to support an industry with such links.

Its good if you can do it cleanly and safely with no radioactive waste. Unfortunately the reality is it produces radioactive waste that will be around for thousands of years.
dsspyder: if hydrogen fuels cells are good, where does the hydrogen come from in the first place?, they aren't a source of power, just means of storage.

I think there is nothing wrong with Nuclear power as long as the reactors are properly maintained, and the uranium is desposed of correctly.

The French ( who sell us some of our electricity) don't seem to have a problem with it - it's just our useless New McLabour bunch of tossers that have no vision and don't even understand how a box of matches works.

Good.
It is an invention of nature. Nature doesn't have any bad things. The use of these inventions make the image of that as good or bad in human minds.
