Peer Review on Jacky's "Nuclear Power's New Dawn" article( already commented in his post)

Generally, I think that this is a well-drafted and straightforward post of Jacky about the new dawn of nuclear power. The whole post have stated clearly his point of view that nuclear power can be advantageous for human and would be the most popular energy if we know how to handle the challenges properly.

First of all, I personally think that one of the strongest points of Jacky's post is the consistency in his support for the utilization of nuclear power. Throughout the post, he has used figures and facts to support his main idea. In addition, Jacky have also discussed some challenges that we are expected to overcome if we widely use the nuclear energy such as the material requirements and its high cost. Personally, I strongly agree with Jacky that nuclear power has many positive points that human beings can benefit from and it is our responsibility to know how to use it in a good way as " with great power, comes great responsibility" .

On the other hand, I think that the article can be better improved if Jacky can elaborate more on the disadvantages and challenges of nuclear energy as those are also great concerns for world leaders as material shortage and costs may not be main challenges. Admittedlly, there is many advantages that nuclear power may bring to us, however, extremely serious problems such as atomic explosion danger, possibilities of war and destruction are much more concerned about than costs and material requirements. Therefore, if Jacky can rebut and point out some possible solution for these problems, the article would be more convincing.

In conclusion, Jacky has been successful in bringing up the issue that is widely debated. Though there is some minor errors in grammar and content, however, in the limitation of a short blog post, I think that if the article was written a little bit longer, it would be better.
