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. Does nuclear energy offer a path away from carbon-based fuels? Or are nuclear power plants too big a threat? It’s time to【C4】______myth from reality.

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

Concerns about safety lead to extensive regulatory approval processes and add uncertainty to plant developers’ calculations, both of【C14】______boost the price of financing new nuclear plants. It’s not clear how much these construction costs would【C15】______if safety fears subsided and the financing became cheaper — and after the Fukushima catastrophe, we’re unlikely to find out.
