The unethical abuses of nuclear reactions
Nuclear technology is useful in providing large amounts of energy, and the nuclear reaction won’t give out carbon dioxide like burning fossil fuel and coal. However, unethical abuse of nuclear power will cause serious results. If the nuclear power is used in military actions, the radiation of those atoms will cause permanent damage to creatures and environment. In order to minimize the potential unethical abuses, the usage of nuclear reaction must be limited in providing energy and doing research. The limitation could be guaranteed by keeping the method of producing large scale nuclear reaction. Once the scientific theory of nuclear action is controlled by government, the dangerous of radiation pollution and nuclear attack will be minimized. Another way to decrease the abuses of nuclear power is to control the reaction materials. One good example is the American National Standard for Methods of Nuclear Material Control -- Measurement Control Program, this program aims at controlling the raw materials which can produce large scale nuclear reaction. Moreover, this program also regulates the market of raw nuclear materials. It helps limiting the usage of nuclear power. Fortunately, due to the complexity of the equipments and materials of nuclear reaction, it is not easy to do the large scale nuclear reaction. That is also why there are only some countries can build nuclear reaction station.
