Radiation therapy is often used to treat cancer. Nuclear energy also produces much power.

As a "down-winder" from the Los Vegas testing site I feel nuclear anything should be outlawed. My daughter and I were both born with numerous birth defects. I had cancer twice before 30. How about solar, wind hydro, just about any other possible way. Stop this useless testing and damaging of life.

Nueclear energy seldomly uses weapons grade uranium which they need to use for the bomb and if someone were to try to steal them they would need like 10 lots of the uranium to do anything with it so there isn't really that big of risk anymore the only problem is how to disposeof the waste that can be harmful to both people and wildlife safely

Hi. It can be used for power, medicine, spacecraft engines, as you state. Radioactive material is used in the diagnosis of many conditions in the human body. Power : http://www.answers.com/topic/nuclear-energy
Is probably the most important use.
