Informative Speech On Chernobyl
Have you ever imagined the end of the world? Well keep on reading! Chernobyl was probably the worst nuclear disaster in history. I’m going to take you through what has happened to the animals and the plants in Chernobyl and what is still happening today. The animals of Chernobyl make me regretful because the animals keep dying since of Chernobyl.
Imagine not being able to touch your farm animals. There are 31 well known animals in the Chernobyl zone. 6 of them are cannibals, 9 of them are omnivores, and 7 of them are herbivores. All with a very unique but strange radioactivity. Chernobyl’s environment has poisoned the land and has twisted the animal's DNA. I have two examples. One, the lynx. The lynx has been extinct in Europe for years and

    The first disparity between the Chernobyl and Fukushima accident is the causes. The Chernobyl accident was caused by human error in conducting the plant outside its technical specifications and failure to notify the proper authorities following the accident. Chernobyl’s power plant also had a faulty nuclear reactor design which exclude a containment structure typically found in most nuclear power plant. The two contributing factors usher the nuclear reactor to explode and failure to contain discharge of radioactive materials into the atmosphere. In contrast, the Fukushima accident precipitate due to natural disaster consist of earthquake and tsunami causing a malfunction of the plant’s cooling system. Unlike Chernobyl, Fukushima’s nuclear plant…

    It was that time of day when the afternoon barely gave away to the glorious wonders of the night. The birds had stopped chirping and the many creatures that stirred in the ruins of the city, those that found it livable, had retreated to their underground homes. It had been a decade, a lifetime since the city had been reduced to rubble. The radiation still lingered in the air. It added a new taste, similar to the taste of an orange or a lemon. The crater from the bomb had been filled with rainwater to form a lagoon. The river’s natural current carried away the radioactive debris to the forest where, undoubtedly, the creatures of the forest would drink the contaminated water.…

    Over centuries humans have always continued to try and find new ways of converting one form of energy into one which humans can manipulate for their own use. One of the most recent forms of converting energy, which is gaining in popularity is nuclear energy. With 14 percent of the world using it today it is a viable alternative to burning fossil fuels. To give you a basic idea on how the process of converting energy works according to the Canadian Nuclear Association is as basic as, “splitting the uranium atom to generate the heat that is used to produce steam for the production of electricity”(www.cna.ca). However things do not always run so smoothly, and the leakage of the nuclear material could have devastating consequences to both the land and its inhabitants. One of the bigger well know events of this nature, came from the power plant Chernobyl. To put simply it is a plant that exploded releasing nuclear waste into the atmosphere. Although this is detrimental to the environment the significance behind this event is because of this accident, we have now learned from our mistakes and are taking more precautions so that history is not repeated. I will prove that history will not be repeated through some background knowledge of the plant, what happened during the meltdown and how it effected the land and inhabitants, and finally what insight we have gained from this event and its significance to history.…
