Explosions. Radiation. Evacuations. More than 30 years after Three Mile Island, the【C1】______crisis in Fukushima, Japan, has brought back some of the worst【C2】______surrounding nuclear power — and restarted a major debate about the merits and the【C3】______of this energy source.

The last nuclear power plant to come online started【C8】______power in 1996 — but its construction began in 1972. Today, nuclear power remains【C9】______more expensive than coal- or gas-fired electricity,【C10】______because nuclear plants are so expensive to build.【C11】______are slippery, but a plant can cost $5 billion. A
2009 MIT study
