Use nuclear in a sentence?

It was a nuclear bomb. Everyone was afraid of a nuclear bomb. The nuclear power plant malfunctioned. The Cold War was about fear of nuclear attack.

The cold war is over but Russia may attack us with nuclear weapons. Get in a bomb shelter and pray like hell you won't turn into some fugluy creature.

RUN LIKE HELL!!!


How do you use the word impervious in a sentence?

Due to his trauma, the man was impervious to pain. The concrete floor was impervious to rain. The center for NORAD is buried under Cheyenne Mountain, and designed to be nearly impervious to nuclear attack.


How many people have died due to accidents and pollution from nuclear power plants compared to how many have died due to accidents and pollution from coal power plants?

There technically is no "pollution" from nuclear power, the only by product is steam. The transport and storage of spent nuclear fuel is extremely secure and safe. The only time we are in danger of nuclear radiation are if the reactor vessels that house the nuclear rods are damaged or melt....which is extremely rare and only happens with a massive failure in the chain of events that govern and sustain the supply (in theory, a deliberate attack on a power plant would also cause a spill, too. Yet, so far, that hasn't happened). In the end, thousands of people die every year from the burning of fossil fuels, where as virtually nobody dies from the use of nuclear power. Over 85 of France's power usage comes from nuclear power, after all.
